Abstract
BACKGROUND Using murine models of infection, we previously reported the potent in vivo activity of carbapenems against MBL-producing Enterobacterales despite the observed resistance in vitro. In the current study, we examined the in vivo activity of a cefepime human-simulated regimen against MBL-producing Enterobacterales in a murine thigh infection model. METHODS A population of clinical isolates and isogenic engineered MBL-producing Enterobacterales transformants expressing MBLs but no detectable cefepime-hydrolysing serine β-lactamases were utilized. KPC-producing isolates were included as positive controls. Cefepime, piperacillin/tazobactam and meropenem MICs were determined using broth microdilution in conventional CAMHB and EDTA-supplemented (zinc-limited) broth. In vivo efficacy of a cefepime human-simulated regimen (2 g q8h as a 2 h infusion) was determined in the neutropenic murine thigh infection model against the test strains. Efficacy was measured as the change in log10 cfu/thigh at 24 h compared with 0 h controls. RESULTS MBL-producing Enterobacterales strains were found to be cefepime, piperacillin/tazobactam and meropenem non-susceptible in conventional broth. Supplementation with EDTA at a concentration of 300 mg/L resulted in multi-fold reduction in the MICs and restoration of susceptibility. In accordance with the MICs generated in zinc-limited broth, administration of a cefepime human-simulated regimen was associated with substantial bacterial reductions among mice infected with MBL-producing Enterobacterales. Absence of MIC reduction in zinc-limited broth and lack of efficacy among mice infected with KPC-producing isolates were observed. CONCLUSIONS For MBL-producing Enterobacterales, susceptibility testing with Mueller-Hinton broth, a zinc-rich testing medium, is flawed since it does not recapitulate the host environment, in which zinc concentrations are low.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales represent a major therapeutic challenge. MBLs, requiring zinc at their catalytic site, could be inhibited by meso-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), a heavy metal chelator already widely used for treating lead intoxication. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the activity of carbapenems alone or combined with DMSA against MBL-producing Escherichia coli in a severe murine peritonitis model. METHODS Isogenic strains of wild-type E. coli CFT073 producing the MBLs NDM-1, VIM-2 and IMP-1, and the control serine carbapenemases OXA-48 and KPC-3 were constructed. MIC determinations and time-kill assays were performed for imipenem, meropenem and ertapenem alone or in combination with DMSA. Infected mice were treated intraperitoneally for 24 h with imipenem, DMSA or their combination. Bacterial counts in peritoneal fluid and spleen were assessed at 24 h. RESULTS DMSA in combination with each carbapenem caused a significant decrease in the MICs for all MBL-producing strains, in a concentration-dependent manner, but did not provide benefit against non-MBL strains. In mice infected with the NDM-1-producing strain, the combination of imipenem and DMSA significantly reduced bacterial counts in peritoneal fluid (P = 0.0006) and spleen (P < 0.0001), as compared with imipenem alone, with no benefit against the KPC-3-producing and CFT073 strains. DMSA concentrations in plasma of mice were comparable to those obtained in humans with a standard oral dose. CONCLUSIONS DMSA restores the activity of carbapenems against MBL-producing strains, and its combination with carbapenems appears to be a promising strategy for the treatment of NDM-producing E. coli infections.

Activity of β-Lactam Antibiotics against Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales in Animal Infection Models: a Current State of Affairs. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2021; 65:AAC.02271-20. [PMID: 33782001 DOI: 10.1128/aac.02271-20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) result in resistance to nearly all β-lactam antimicrobial agents, as determined by currently employed susceptibility testing methods. However, recently reported data demonstrate that variable and supraphysiologic zinc concentrations in conventional susceptibility testing media compared with physiologic (bioactive) zinc concentrations may be mediating discordant in vitro-in vivo MBL resistance. While treatment outcomes in patients appear suggestive of this discordance, these limited data are confounded by comorbidities and combination therapy. To that end, the goal of this review is to evaluate the extent of β-lactam activity against MBL-harboring Enterobacterales in published animal infection model studies and provide contemporary considerations to facilitate the optimization of current antimicrobials and development of novel therapeutics.

Abstract
The spread of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Enterobacterales worldwide without the simultaneous increase in active antibiotics makes these organisms an urgent public health threat. This review summarizes recent advancements in diagnostic and treatment strategies for infections caused by MBL-producing Enterobacterales. Adequate treatment of patients infected with MBL-producing Enterobacterales relies on detection of the β-lactamase in the clinic. There are several molecular platforms that are currently available to identify clinically relevant MBLs as well as other important serine-β-lactamases. Once detected, there are several antibiotics that have historically been used for the treatment of MBL-producing Enterobacterales. Antimicrobials such as aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, fosfomycin, and polymyxins often show promising in vitro activity though clinical data are currently lacking to support their widespread use. Ceftazidime-avibactam combined with aztreonam is promising for treatment of infections caused by MBL-producing Enterobacterales and currently has the most clinical data of any available antibiotic to support its use. While cefiderocol has displayed promising activity against MBL-producing Enterobacterales in vitro and in preliminary clinical studies, further clinical studies will better shed light on its place in treatment. Lastly, there are several promising MBL inhibitors in the pipeline, which may further improve the treatment of MBL-producing Enterobacterales.

Variability in Zinc Concentration among Mueller-Hinton Broth Brands: Impact on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae. J Clin Microbiol 2020; 58:JCM.02019-20. [PMID: 32999009 DOI: 10.1128/jcm.02019-20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Accepted: 09/27/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Zinc concentrations in cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth (caMHB) from different manufacturers have been found to differ. Here, we evaluated the impact of utilizing different brands and lots of commercially available caMHB on the classification of the antimicrobial susceptibility of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-harboring Enterobacteriaceae We also evaluated the addition of EDTA to caMHB as a means of achieving zinc-limited media. Fifteen clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates (harboring NDM [n = 7], VIM [n = 3], IMP [n = 2], or KPC [n = 3]) and nine different commercial lots from three caMHB manufacturers (Becton, Dickinson; Oxoid; and Sigma-Aldrich) were utilized. Zinc-limited media were prepared by the addition of EDTA at concentrations ranging from 3 to 300 μg/ml. Meropenem MICs were determined in triplicate for each lot of conventional caMHB and zinc-limited media by broth microdilution. The zinc concentration in each lot of conventional caMHB was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Up to 8-fold differences in meropenem MICs were observed between the commercial lots, resulting in different classifications of susceptibility among MBL-harboring isolates. Mean zinc concentrations were highest among conventional Becton, Dickinson caMHB lots relative to those for Oxoid and Sigma-Aldrich broth. Among MBL-harboring isolates, the impact of EDTA on MICs was dependent on the lot, correlating with initial zinc availability (i.e., less MIC reduction with higher initial zinc concentrations), while MICs for KPC-harboring isolates were unchanged. In summary, zinc variability was observed among commercial lots of caMHB, resulting in different classifications of susceptibility among MBL-harboring Enterobacteriaceae The addition of EDTA at concentrations of ≥30 μg/ml was sufficient to provide a zinc-limited medium, resulting in MICs that reflect in vivo meropenem activity.
