Abstract
Background The excessive use of piperacillin/tazobactam (P/T) has promoted the emergence of P/T-resistant Enterobacterales. We reported that in Escherichia coli, P/T contributes to the development of extended-spectrum resistance to β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor (BL/BLI) (ESRI) in isolates that are P/T susceptible but have low-level resistance to BL/BLI. Currently, the detection of P/T resistance relying on conventional methods is time-consuming. To overcome this issue, we developed a cost-effective test based on MALDI-MS technology, called MALDIpiptaz, which aims to detect P/T resistance and ESRI developers in E. coli. Methods We used automated Clover MS Data Analysis software to analyse the protein profile spectra obtained by MALDI-MS from a collection of 248 E. coli isolates (91 P/T-resistant, 81 ESRI developers and 76 P/T-susceptible). This software allowed to preprocess all the spectra to build different peak matrices that were analysed by machine learning algorithms. Results We demonstrated that MALDIpiptaz can efficiently and rapidly (15 min) discriminate between P/T-resistant, ESRI developer and P/T-susceptible isolates and allowed the correct classification between ESRI developers from their isogenic resistance to P/T. Conclusion The combination of excellent performance and cost-effectiveness are all desirable attributes, allowing the MALDIpiptaz test to be a useful tool for the rapid determination of P/T resistance in clinically relevant E. coli isolates.

Abstract
Appropriate empiric therapy reduces mortality and morbidity associated with serious Gram-negative infections. β-lactams (BLs) owing to their safety, efficacy, and coverage spectrum are the most preferred agents for empiric use. Inappropriate use of older penicillins and cephalosporins led to selection and spread of resistant clones. As a result, these valuable agents have lost their reliability compelling clinicians to often use erstwhile last-line therapies such as carbapenems. Excessive carbapenems use imposed collateral damage by selecting difficult-to-treat carbapenem-resistant organisms. Lack of empiric therapeutic options amenable for use in infections caused by contemporary pathogens was realized by the pharmaceutical industry leading to intensive efforts in discovering novel antibiotics. These efforts led to the approval of newer β-lactams and β-lactamase inhibitor (BL-BLI) combination. This review elaborates the past trends in empirical use of BLs and ensuing patterns of resistance emergence in Gram-negatives. Furthermore, a critical appraisal of newer BL-BLIs has been presented to identify the appropriate clinical situations for their use to ensure clinical efficacy coupled with minimal resistance selection. These learning have been derived from past trends of clinical usage of older empiric therapies so that the therapeutic utility of newer agents is preserved for long in light of dwindling global antibiotics pipeline.
