Abstract
OBJECTIVES The treatment options available for infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens are often limited. Cefiderocol (CFDC) is a novel siderophore cephalosporin that exhibits activity against these pathogens. Several studies have reported the in vitro activity of CFDC against isolates from Europe, the United States, and China, but the activity against carbapenem-resistant bacteria with IMP-type carbapenemase has not been extensively studied. We, therefore, studied the in vitro activities of CFDC against carbapenem-resistant bacteria with available genomic backgrounds based on whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in Japan, where the IMP-type is the predominant carbapenemase produced by Gram-negative rods. METHODS We selected 603 isolates (528 Enterobacterales, 18 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and 57 Acinetobacter spp.) from a collection of Gram-negative clinical isolates collected during a Japan Antimicrobial Resistance Bacterial Surveillance program and evaluated the antimicrobial activities of CFDC, ceftolozane/tazobactam (CTLZ/TAZ), imipenem-relebactam (IPM/REL), and ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) against carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales, carbapenemase-non-producing meropenem-non-susceptible Enterobacterales, and carbapenemase-producing nonfermentative bacteria. RESULTS Among these, 97.7% of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (99.2% of IMP-type carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales), 100% of carbapenemase-producing P. aeruginosa, and 91.2% of carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter spp. were susceptible to CFDC, showing better antimicrobial activity than the other antimicrobial agents evaluated in this study. CFDC was highly effective against class A-, B-, and D β-lactamase-harbouring isolates when compared to the other antimicrobial agents. In addition, the relationship between CFDC resistance and three genetic factors involved in resistance was discussed. CONCLUSIONS This is the first large-scale study to systematically demonstrate the efficacy of CFDC against IMP-type carbapenemase-producing strains with known genomic backgrounds.

Characterizing carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli isolates from Spain: high genetic heterogeneity and wide geographical spread. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2024; 14:1390966. [PMID: 38817448 PMCID: PMC11137265 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2024.1390966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Carbapenemase-Producing Escherichia coli (CP-Eco) isolates, though less prevalent than other CP-Enterobacterales, have the capacity to rapidly disseminate antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and cause serious difficult-to-treat infections. The aim of this study is phenotypically and genotypically characterizing CP-Eco isolates collected from Spain to better understand their resistance mechanisms and population structure. Methods Ninety representative isolates received from 2015 to 2020 from 25 provinces and 59 hospitals Spanish hospitals were included. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined according to EUCAST guidelines and whole-genome sequencing was performed. Antibiotic resistance and virulence-associated genes, phylogeny and population structure, and carbapenemase genes-carrying plasmids were analyzed. Results and discussion The 90 CP-Eco isolates were highly polyclonal, where the most prevalent was ST131, detected in 14 (15.6%) of the isolates. The carbapenemase genes detected were bla OXA-48 (45.6%), bla VIM-1 (23.3%), bla NDM-1 (7.8%), bla KPC-3 (6.7%), and bla NDM-5 (6.7%). Forty (44.4%) were resistant to 6 or more antibiotic groups and the most active antibiotics were colistin (98.9%), plazomicin (92.2%) and cefiderocol (92.2%). Four of the seven cefiderocol-resistant isolates belonged to ST167 and six harbored bla NDM. Five of the plazomicin-resistant isolates harbored rmt. IncL plasmids were the most frequent (45.7%) and eight of these harbored bla VIM-1. bla OXA-48 was found in IncF plasmids in eight isolates. Metallo-β-lactamases were more frequent in isolates with resistance to six or more antibiotic groups, with their genes often present on the same plasmid/integron. ST131 isolates were associated with sat and pap virulence genes. This study highlights the genetic versatility of CP-Eco and its potential to disseminate ARGs and cause community and nosocomial infections.

When the Trojan horse is unable to reach inside the city: investigation of the mechanism of resistance behind the first reported cefiderocol-resistant E. coli in Canada. Microbiol Spectr 2024; 12:e0322323.

Abstract
Gram-negative metallo-β-lactamase-producing bacteria can be extremely problematic, especially when found to be extensively drug-resistant (XDR). Cefiderocol is a novel antimicrobial that has been shown to overcome most carbapenemases, with very rare resistance reported to date. Within our institution, two multidrug-resistant and one XDR strains were isolated from a patient who recently emigrated from India. Each isolate underwent whole-genome sequencing to resolve plasmids and determine phylogenetics, strain typing, and mechanisms of resistance. The XDR E. coli was ST167, harbored NDM-5, cirA and PBP3 mutations, consistent with cefiderocol resistance. Our study suggests that the NDM region is required in conjunction with cirA and PBP3 mutations. It is not clear why; however, our study did determine a potential novel iron-transport region unique to the cefiderocol-resistant isolate. This is the first characterized cefiderocol-resistant E.coli reported from Canada. Health centers should be on alert for this clone.IMPORTANCEThe development of cefiderocol, a novel siderophore cephalosporin, has provided additional options to the treatment of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Gram-negative bacteria. Resistance to cefiderocol is poorly understood and only recently described. Here, we describe a case of a patient with recent travel to India harboring three Escherichia coli isolates, one resistant and two susceptible to cefiderocol. Two isolates are highly similar genetically, allowing the mechanism of resistance to be described more closely. The importance of this manuscript contributes both globally to the understanding of cefiderocol resistance in E. coli as well as nationally as this is the first resistant case reported in Canada. This is especially concerning as cefiderocol is not currently approved in Canada. The implications of reporting emerging resistance to new antimicrobials for XDR Gram negatives are impactful to infectious disease specialists, clinical microbiologists, physicians, and public health.

Abstract
The impact of penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3) modifications that may be identified in Escherichia coli was evaluated with respect to susceptibility to β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations including ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-relebactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, aztreonam-avibactam, cefepime-taniborbactam, and to cefiderocol. A large series of E. coli recombinant strains producing broad-spectrum β-lactamases was evaluated. While imipenem-relebactam showed a similar activity regardless of the PBP3 background, susceptibility to other molecules tested was affected at various levels. This was particularly the case for ceftazidime-avibactam, aztreonam-avibactam, and cefepime-taniborbactam.

Abstract
The combination of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) and aztreonam (ATM) is used to treat MBL-producing Enterobacterales-related infections. The new combination aztreonam-avibactam (AZA) is currently in development. We compared results obtained with the new MIC test strip (MTS) AZA (Liofilchem) with broth microdilution method (BMD) on 41 MBL-producing Enterobacterales from 41 clinical samples. The MTS AZA was also compared to combination testing method using CAZ-AVI and ATM strips. Compared to BMD, categorical agreement (CA) was 100%. Compared with combination testing method, CA was 97.6%. The MTS AZA can be used to determine MICs levels of AZA or CAZ-AVI/ATM combinations.

Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:1493. [PMID: 37887194 PMCID: PMC10604182 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12101493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the availability of new options (ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-relebactam, meropenem-vaborbactam and cefiderocol), it is still very difficult to treat infections caused by metallo-β-lactamase (MBLs)-producers resistant to aztreonam. The in vitro efficacy of aztreonam in association with avibactam, vaborbactam or relebactam was evaluated on a collection of MBL-producing Enterobacterales, MBL-producing P. aeruginosa and highly drug-resistant S. maltophilia. METHODS A total of fifty-two non-duplicate MBL-producing Enterobacterales, five MBL-producing P. aeruginosa and five multidrug-resistant S. maltophila isolates were used in this study. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of aztreonam, meropenem-vaborbactam and imipenem-relebactam were determined by Etest® (bioMérieux, La Balme-les-Grottes) according to EUCAST recommendations. For aztreonam-avibactam, aztreonam-vaborbactam and aztreonam-relebactam associations, the MICs were determined using Etest® on Mueller-Hinton (MH) agar supplemented with 8 mg/L of avibactam, 8 mg/L of vaborbactam and 4 mg/L of relebactam. The MICs were interpreted according to EUCAST guidelines. RESULTS The susceptibility rates of aztreonam-avibactam, aztreonam-vaborbactam and aztreonam-relebactam with a standard exposure of aztreonam (1g × 3, IV) were 84.6% (44/52), 55.8% and 34.6% for Enterobacterales and 0% for all combinations for P. aeruginosa and S. maltophila. The susceptibility rates of aztreonam-avibactam, aztreonam-vaborbactam and aztreonam-relebactam with a high exposure of aztreonam (2g × 4, IV) were 92.3%, 78.9% and 57.7% for Enterobacterales, 75%, 60% and 60% for P. aeruginosa and 100%, 100% and 40% for S. maltophila. CONCLUSIONS As previously demonstrated for an aztreonam/ceftazidime-avibactam combination, aztreonam plus imipenem-relebactam and aztreonam plus meropenem-vaborbactam might be useful options, but with potentially lower efficiency, to treat infections caused by aztreonam-non-susceptible MBL-producing Gram-negative strains.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of cefiderocol, a siderophore cephalosporin against MBL-producing clinical isolates. METHODS MBL-producing strains were selected from clinical isolates of Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii complex collected in North America and Europe in five consecutive annual multinational SIDERO-WT surveillance studies from 2014 to 2019. MICs of cefiderocol and comparator agents were determined by the broth microdilution method according to the CLSI guideline. RESULTS A total of 452 MBL-producing strains consisting of 200 Enterobacterales, 227 P. aeruginosa and 25 A. baumannii complex were identified. The highest number of MBL-producing Enterobacterales strains were detected in Greece. MBL-producing strains of both P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii complex were isolated most frequently in Russia. For Enterobacterales, 91.5% or 67.5% of MBL-producing strains had cefiderocol MIC values ≤4 mg/L (CLSI susceptibility breakpoint) or ≤2 mg/L (EUCAST susceptibility breakpoint), respectively. All MIC values of cefiderocol for MBL-producing P. aeruginosa strains were ≤4 mg/L (CLSI susceptibility breakpoint), and 97.4% of them had cefiderocol MIC values ≤2 mg/L (EUCAST susceptibility breakpoint). For A. baumannii complex, 60.0% or 44.0% of MBL-producing strains had cefiderocol MIC values ≤4 mg/L (CLSI susceptibility breakpoint) or ≤2 mg/L (EUCAST pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic susceptibility breakpoint), respectively. Against all types of MBL-producing strains, MIC distribution curves of cefiderocol were located in the lowest numerical values, compared with other β-lactams and β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations tested and ciprofloxacin. CONCLUSIONS Although the types of MBL-producing strains isolated by country varied, cefiderocol showed potent in vitro activity against all types of MBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria regardless of the bacterial species.

Abstract
Cefiderocol (FDC) is a siderophore cephalosporin with a broad spectrum of activity against many multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Acquired resistance to FDC has been already reported among Gram-negative isolates, thus highlighting the need for rapid and accurate identification of such resistant pathogens, in order to control their spread. Therefore, the SuperFDC medium was developed to screen FDC-resistant Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. After testing several culture conditions, a selective medium was set up by supplementing an iron-depleted agar medium with 8 μg/mL of FDC and evaluated with a collection of 68 FDC-susceptible and 33 FDC-resistant Gram-negative isolates exhibiting a variety of β-lactam resistance mechanisms. The sensitivity and specificity of detection of this medium were evaluated at 97% and 100%, respectively. In comparison with the reference broth microdilution method, only 3% very major errors were found. In addition, excellent detection performances were obtained by testing spiked stools with a lower limit of detection ranging between 100 and 103 CFU/mL. The SuperFDC medium allows detection of FDC-resistant Gram-negative isolates regardless of their corresponding resistance mechanisms.

An NDM-Producing Escherichia coli Clinical Isolate Exhibiting Resistance to Cefiderocol and the Combination of Ceftazidime-Avibactam and Aztreonam: Another Step Toward Pan-β-Lactam Resistance. Open Forum Infect Dis 2023; 10:ofad276. [PMID: 37416757 PMCID: PMC10319620 DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofad276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Cefiderocol and ceftazidime-avibactam plus aztreonam (CZA-ATM) are preferred treatment regimens for New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing infections. Methods We report the case of a US patient who traveled to India to receive a renal transplant. He subsequently experienced pyelonephritis by an NDM-producing Escherichia coli. Broth microdilution and the broth disk elution method indicated resistance to all β-lactams, including cefiderocol and CZA-ATM. Whole-genome sequencing investigations were undertaken to identify resistance mechanisms. Results An E. coli isolate belonging to sequence type (ST) 167 containing a blaNDM-5 gene was identified on a plasmid of the IncFIA/IncFIB/IncFIC replicon groups. When compared with the genome of another ST167 E. coli clinical isolate containing blaNDM-5 and exhibiting susceptibility to cefiderocol and CZA-ATM, a 12-base pair insertion in ftsI, translating to a 4-amino acid duplication in PBP3, was identified. Moreover, a blaCMY-59 gene was harbored on an IncI-γ replicon type, and frameshift mutations were identified in the cirA iron transport gene. Conclusions This is the first clinical case of a US patient harboring an NDM-producing isolate exhibiting resistance to all available β-lactam agents. The isolate's unexpected resistance to cefiderocol and CZA-ATM was likely due to a combination of (1) a modified PBP3 (increased MICs to both regimens), (2) truncated iron-binding protein (increased cefiderocol MIC), and (3) a blaCMY gene (reduced CZA-ATM activity). E. coli ST167 clinical isolates harboring blaNDM-5 genes are a recognized international high-risk clone. When coupled with the additional mechanisms identified in our patient's isolate, which is not uncommon for this high-risk clone, pan-β-lactam resistance may occur.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance continues to increase globally and treatment of difficult-to-treat (DTT) infections, mostly associated with carbapenem-resistant (CR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, CR Acinetobacter baumannii, and CR- and third-generation-cephalosporins-resistant Enterobacterales remains a challenge for the clinician. The recent approval of cefiderocol has broaden the armamentarium for the treatment of patients with DTT infections. Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin that has shown excellent antibacterial activity, in part due to its innovative way of cell permeation. It is relatively stable compared to most commonly found carbapenamases. However, some resistant mechanisms to cefiderocol have already been identified and reduced susceptibility has developed during patient treatment, highlighting that the clinical use of cefiderocol must be rational. In this review, we summarize the current available treatments against the former resistant bacteria, and we revise and discuss the mechanism of action of cefiderocol, underlying the biological function of siderophores, the therapeutic potential of cefiderocol, and the mechanisms of resistance reported so far.

Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0056923. [PMID: 37154758 PMCID: PMC10269523 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00569-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Cefiderocol and aztreonam-avibactam (ATM-AVI) both had activity against carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli, including those that produce metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). We compared the in vitro activities and inoculum effects of these antibiotics against carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE), especially MBL-producing isolates. The MICs of cefiderocol and ATM-AVI were determined using broth microdilution method for a 2016 to 2021 collection of Enterobacteriaceae isolates which produced MBL, KPC, or OXA-48-like carbapenemases. MICs with high bacteria inoculum were also evaluated for susceptible isolates. A total of 195 CPE were tested, including 143 MBL- (74 NDM, 42 IMP, and 27 VIM), 38 KPC-, and 14 OXA-48-like-producing isolates. The susceptible rates of MBL-, KPC-, and OXA-48-like producers to cefiderocol were 86.0%, 92.1%, and 92.9%, respectively, and that to ATM-AVI were 95.8%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. NDM producers displayed lower susceptibility and higher MIC50s/MIC90s of cefiderocol (78.4%, 2/16 mg/L) than IMP (92.9%, 0.375/4 mg/L) and VIM (96.3%, 1/4 mg/L) producers. NDM- and VIM-producing Escherichia coli showed lower susceptibility to ATM-AVI (77.3% and 75.0%, respectively) compared to MBL-CPE of other species (100% susceptible). Inoculum effects for cefiderocol and ATM-AVI were observed among 95.9% and 95.2% of susceptible CPE, respectively. A switch from susceptible to resistant category was observed in 83.6% (143/171) of isolates for cefiderocol and 94.7% (179/189) for ATM-AVI. Our results revealed that NDM-producing Enterobacteriaceae had lower susceptibility to cefiderocol and ATM-AVI. Prominent inoculum effects on both antibiotics were observed for CPE, which suggested a risk of microbiological failure when they were used for CPE infections with high bacteria burden. IMPORTANCE The prevalence of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae is increasing worldwide. Currently, therapeutic options for metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae remain limited. We demonstrated that clinical metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates were highly susceptible to cefiderocol (86.0%) and aztreonam-avibactam (ATM-AVI) (95.8%). However, inoculum effects on cefiderocol and ATM-AVI were observed for over 90% of susceptible carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) isolates. Our findings highlight a potential risk of microbiological failure when using monotherapy with cefiderocol or ATM-AVI to treat severe CPE infection.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) remain a significant public health threat, and, despite recent approvals, new antibiotics are needed. Severe infections caused by CRE, such as nosocomial pneumonia and bloodstream infections, are associated with a relatively high risk of morbidity and mortality. The recent approval of ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-relebactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, plazomicin, eravacycline and cefiderocol has broadened the armamentarium for the treatment of patients with CRE infections. Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin with overall potent in vitro activity against CRE. It is taken up via iron transport channels through active transport, with some entry into bacteria through traditional porin channels. Cefiderocol is relatively stable against hydrolysis by most serine- and metallo-beta-lactamases, including KPC, NDM, VIM, IMP and OXA carbapenemases-the most frequent carbapenemases detected in CRE. The efficacy and safety of cefiderocol has been demonstrated in three randomised, prospective, parallel group or controlled clinical studies in patients at risk of being infected by multidrug-resistant or carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. This paper reviews the in vitro activity, emergence of resistance, preclinical effectiveness, and clinical experience for cefiderocol, and its role in the management of patients with CRE infections.
