In Vitro Susceptibility of Burkholderia cepacia Complex Isolated from Cystic Fibrosis Patients to Ceftazidime-Avibactam and Ceftolozane-Tazobactam.

ABSTRACT: We tested the in vitro susceptibility of ceftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam and 13 other antibiotics against 91 Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) strains isolated from cystic fibrosis patients since 2012. The highest susceptibility (82%) was found for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Eighty-one and 63% of all BCC strains were susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam, respectively. For temocillin, ceftazidime, piperacillin-tazobactam, and meropenem, at least 50% of the strains were susceptible. B. stabilis seems to be more resistant than other BCC species.

Project description:Burkholderia multivorans is a significant health threat to persons with cystic fibrosis (CF). Infections are difficult to treat as this pathogen is inherently resistant to multiple antibiotics. Susceptibility testing of isolates obtained from CF respiratory cultures revealed that single agents selected from different antibiotic classes were unable to inhibit growth. However, all isolates were found to be susceptible to ceftazidime when combined with the novel non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor, avibactam (all minimum inhibitor concentrations (MICs) were ≤8 mg/L of ceftazidime and 4 mg/L of avibactam). Furthermore, a major β-lactam resistance determinant expressed in B. multivorans, the class A carbapenemase, PenA was readily inhibited by avibactam with a high k2/K of (2 ± 1) × 106 μM-1 s-1 and a slow koff of (2 ± 1) × 10-3 s-1. Mass spectrometry revealed that avibactam formed a stable complex with PenA for up to 24 h and that avibactam recyclized off of PenA, re-forming the active compound. Crystallographic analysis of PenA-avibactam revealed several interactions that stabilized the acyl-enzyme complex. The deacylation water molecule possessed decreased nucleophilicity, preventing decarbamylation. In addition, the hydrogen-bonding interactions with Lys-73 were suggestive of a protonated state. Thus, Lys-73 was unlikely to abstract a proton from Ser-130 to initiate recyclization. Using Galleria mellonella larvae as a model for infection, ceftazidime-avibactam was shown to significantly (p < 0.001) improve survival of larvae infected with B. multivorans. To further support the translational impact, the ceftazidime-avibactam combination was evaluated using susceptibility testing against other strains of Burkholderia spp. that commonly infect individuals with CF, and 90% of the isolates were susceptible to the combination. In summary, ceftazidime-avibactam may serve as a preferred therapy for people that have CF and develop Burkholderia spp. infections and should be considered for clinical trials.

Project description:The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Gram-negative pathogens, such as carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, pose an increasing threat to health care. Patients with immunodeficiencies or chronic pulmonary disease, like cystic fibrosis (CF), are particularly vulnerable to Pseudomonas infections and depend heavily on antibiotic therapy. To broaden limited treatment options, this study evaluated the potency of the recently licensed drugs ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA), ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T), and cefiderocol (FDC) as well as two novel preclinical antibiotics, darobactins B (DAR B) and B9 (DAR B9), against clinical P. aeruginosa isolates derived from respiratory samples of CF patients. We observed high levels of resistance to all three newly licensed drugs, with cefiderocol exhibiting the best activity. From the 66 investigated P. aeruginosa isolates, a total of 53% were resistant to CZA, 49% to C/T, and 30% to FDC. Strikingly, 52 of the evaluated isolates were obtained from CF patients prior to market introduction of the drugs. Thus, our results suggest that resistance to CZA, C/T, and FDC may be due to preexisting resistance mechanisms. On the other hand, our two novel preclinical compounds performed better than (CZA and C/T) or close to (FDC) the licensed drugs-most likely due to the novel mode of action. Thus, our results highlight the necessity of global consistency in the area of antibiotic stewardship to prevent AMR from further impairing the potency of antibiotics in clinical practice. Ultimately, this study demonstrates the urgency to support the development of novel antimicrobials, preferably with a new mode of action such as darobactins B and B9, two very promising antimicrobial compounds for the treatment of critically ill patients suffering from multidrug-resistant Gram-negative (MRGN) infections. IMPORTANCE Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents an ever increasing threat to the health care system. Even recently licensed drugs are often not efficient for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a causative agent of lung infections. To address this unmet medical need, innovative antibiotics, which possess a new mode of action, need to be developed. Here, the antibiogram of clinical isolates derived from cystic fibrosis patients was generated and new bicyclic heptapeptides, which inhibit the outer membrane protein BamA, exhibited strong activity, also against multidrug-resistant isolates.

Project description:PurposePseudomonas aeruginosa causes complicated and/or nosocomial UTI. These infections are usually associated with severe and multi-drug resistant P. aeruginosa isolates. As there is no study about the activity of novel antibiotics ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) and ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T) against P. aeruginosa isolates in Iran, we aimed to evaluate for the first time the efficacy of these agents against P. aeruginosa isolated from patients with UTI in Iran. Then, the genetic diversity of the resistant isolates was assayed.MethodsIn this study, a total of 200 P. aeruginosa isolates were collected from patients with UTI in Tehran, Iran. Disk diffusion and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) methods were applied to determine the resistance of the isolates to CZA, C/T, and the other antibiotics. Extended-spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBLs) and Metallo Beta Lactamase (MBL) production were assayed by Combination disk diffusion test (CDDT). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out to detect the resistance genes, including beta-lactamases and carbapenemases genes. Finally, genomic analysis of the isolates was performed using the Pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).ResultsAmong the isolates, 16 (8%) were resistant to CZA and C/T that MIC confirmed it. The resistant isolates showed high resistance to the other classes of antibiotics. Among the resistant isolates, 31.2% and 75% were ESBL and MBL producers, respectively. The prevalence of blaOXA10, blaVIM, blaOXA48, blaOXA2, and blaCTX-M was 100%, 50%, 31.2%, 25%, and 12.5%. Furthermore, two isolates (12.5%) harbored blaPER and blaNDM genes. The resistant isolates were grouped into 14 distinct pulsotypes and two shared pulsotypes were found.ConclusionCeftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam showed high activity against the P. aeruginosa isolated from patients with UTI in Iran. The low rate of resistance to the antibiotics is also alarming and should be considered to avoid further spreading of the antibiotic resistance among the P. aeruginosa and the other bacteria.

Project description:The activities of ceftazidime-avibactam, ceftolozane-tazobactam, and comparators were evaluated for 733 isolates displaying resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins and carrying extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes detected by whole-genome sequencing analysis. Isolates were collected during 2017 in U.S. hospitals. The ESBL producers were 486 Escherichia coli, 190 Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 42 Enterobacter cloacae isolates and isolates from 3 other species. The most common groups of ESBL-encoding genes were blaCTX-M-15-like (n = 491 isolates) and blaCTX-M-15 alone (n = 168) or plus blaOXA-1 (n = 260), followed by blaCTX-M-14-like (n = 162), which included blaCTX-M-27 and blaCTX-M-14 (104 and 51 isolates, respectively), and blaSHV-12 and blaSHV-7 (48 and 22 isolates, respectively). ESBL producers carried other β-lactamases, including 1 E. cloacae harboring blaKPC-3 All ESBL-producing isolates were susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam, and 90.2/83.9% (CLSI/EUCAST breakpoints) were susceptible to ceftolozane-tazobactam. Tigecycline (98.1/95.8% susceptible) and colistin (99.2%) were comparators that displayed the greatest activity against these isolates. Ceftolozane-tazobactam inhibited 91.4/83.9% of isolates carrying blaCTX-M-15-like and 97.5/95.1% of isolates carrying blaCTX-M-14-like, and its activity was more limited against the 91 isolates carrying blaSHV (66.7/61.1% susceptible). Ceftolozane-tazobactam inhibited 95.5% of the E. coli isolates but only 83.0%, 64.3%, and 80.0% of K. pneumoniae, E. cloacae, and other species harboring ESBL-encoding genes (CLSI breakpoints), respectively. Outer membrane protein sequences for ceftolozane-tazobactam-nonsusceptible isolates did not exhibit significant differences compared to those in genetically related ceftolozane-tazobactam-susceptible isolates. Ceftazidime-avibactam was more active than other agents tested, including ceftolozane-tazobactam, and the activity of this combination was stable regardless of species or ESBL gene carried.

Project description:Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa increasingly causes health care-associated infections. In this study, we determined the activity of ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftazidime-avibactam, and cefiderocol against 223 MDR P. aeruginosa clinical isolates recovered from 2013 to 2017 at the University Hospital Frankfurt by using MIC test strips. Furthermore, we evaluated the presence of genes encoding major β-lactamases, such as VIM, IMP, NDM, GIM, SPM, and KPC; the extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-carbapenemase GES; and the virulence-associated traits ExoS and ExoU, as in particular ExoU is thought to be associated with poor clinical outcome. For MDR P. aeruginosa isolates, the MIC50/MIC90 values of ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftazidime-avibactam, and cefiderocol were 8/>256 mg/L, 16/>256 mg/L, and 0.25/1 mg/L, respectively. Cefiderocol showed the highest susceptibility rate (97.3%) followed by ceftazidime-avibactam (48.4%) and ceftolozane-tazobactam (46.6%). In 81 (36.3%) isolates, carbapenemase gene blaVIM was detected, and in 5 (2.2%) isolates, blaGES was detected (with a positive association of exoU and blaVIM). More than half of the isolates belong to the so-called international P. aeruginosa "high-risk" clones, with sequence type 235 (ST235) (24.7%) being the most prevalent. This study underlines that ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftazidime-avibactam, and cefiderocol are important options for the treatment of infections due to MDR P. aeruginosa, with cefiderocol currently being the most active available antipseudomonal β-lactam agent. According to our clinical experience, the outcome of cefiderocol therapy (8 patients) was favorable especially in cases of MDR P. aeruginosa-associated complicated urinary tract infections. IMPORTANCE After testing ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftazidime-avibactam, and cefiderocol against a collection of 233 multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we showed that cefiderocol is the most active antipseudomonal β-lactam agent (susceptibility rates were 46.6%, 48.4%, and 97.4%, respectively). The most prevalent one was sequence type 235 (ST235) (24.7%), followed by ST244, ST175, and ST233, with all belonging to the top 10 P. aeruginosa high-risk clones with worldwide distribution. Our data indicate that during surveillance studies special attention should be paid to the MDR and highly virulent VIM- and ExoU-producing variant of ST235. Furthermore, in the case of infections caused by carbapenemase-producing MDR P. aeruginosa, cefiderocol is the preferred treatment option, while outcomes of complicated urinary tract infections and hospital-acquired pneumonia with cefiderocol were favorable.
