Efficacy of Cefiderocol against Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacilli in Immunocompetent-Rat Respiratory Tract Infection Models Recreating Human Plasma Pharmacokinetics

چکیده
Cefiderocol (S-649266), a novel siderophore cephalosporin, shows potent activity against carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of cefiderocol against carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae) in immunocompetent-rat respiratory tract infection models recreating plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles in healthy human subjects. A total of 6 clinical isolates (1 cephalosporin-susceptible P. aeruginosa isolate, 1 multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa isolate, 2 multidrug-resistant A. baumannii isolates, and 2 carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates) were evaluated. Four-day treatment with a human exposure of 1 g ceftazidime every 8 h as a 0.5-h infusion showed potent efficacy only against a ceftazidime-susceptible isolate, not against five ceftazidime-resistant isolates harboring carbapenemase. With cefiderocol, a human exposure of 2 g every 8 h as a 3-h infusion for 4 days produced a >3 log10 reduction in the number of viable cells of these carbapenem-resistant isolates in the lungs. When the infusion time was 1 h, bactericidal activity was also observed against all isolates tested, although for 2 of 5 carbapenem-resistant isolates, a 3 log10 reduction was not achieved. The difference in efficacy achieved by changing the infusion period from 1 h to 3 h was considered to be due to the higher percentage of the dosing interval during which free-drug concentrations were above the MIC (%fTMIC), as observed for β-lactam antibiotics. These results suggest the potential utility of cefiderocol for the treatment of lung infections caused by carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, and K. pneumoniae strains.

Introduction: Non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) are occasionally involved in infectious diseases pathology, but have shown resistance to multiple antibiotics and the capability to gain new resistance factors in the hospital environment. The present study was aimed to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of rare NFGNB isolated from different clinical samples and the pre...
