Project description:Omadacycline is a broad-spectrum aminomethylcycline approved in October 2018 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections and community-acquired pneumonia as both an oral and intravenous once-daily formulation. In this report, the activities of omadacycline and comparators were tested against 49,000 nonduplicate bacterial isolates collected prospectively during 2016 to 2018 from medical centers in Europe (24,500 isolates, 40 medical centers [19 countries]) and the United States (24,500 isolates, 33 medical centers [23 states and all 9 U.S. census divisions]). Omadacycline was tested by broth microdilution following the methods in Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute document M07 (Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically; Approved Standard, 11th ed., 2018). Omadacycline (MIC50/90, 0.12/0.25?mg/liter) inhibited 98.6% of Staphylococcus aureus isolates at ?0.5?mg/liter, including 96.3% of methicillin-resistant S. aureus isolates and 99.8% of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus isolates. Omadacycline potency was comparable for Streptococcus pneumoniae (MIC50/90, 0.06/0.12?mg/liter), viridans group streptococci (MIC50/90, 0.06/0.12?mg/liter), and beta-hemolytic streptococci (MIC50/90, 0.12/0.25?mg/liter), regardless of species and susceptibility to penicillin, macrolides, or tetracycline. Omadacycline was active against all Enterobacterales tested (MIC50/90, 1/8?mg/liter; 87.5% of isolates were inhibited at ?4?mg/liter) except Proteus mirabilis (MIC50/90, 16/>32?mg/liter) and indole-positive Proteus spp. (MIC50/90, 8/32?mg/liter) and was most active against Escherichia coli (MIC50/90, 0.5/2?mg/liter), Klebsiella oxytoca (MIC50/90, 1/2?mg/liter), and Citrobacter spp. (MIC50/90, 1/4?mg/liter). Omadacycline inhibited 92.4% of Enterobacter cloacae species complex and 88.5% of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates at ?4?mg/liter. Omadacycline was active against Haemophilus influenzae (MIC50/90, 0.5/1?mg/liter), regardless of ?-lactamase status, and against Moraxella catarrhalis (MIC50/90, ?0.12/0.25?mg/liter). The potent activity of omadacycline against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria indicates that omadacycline merits further study in serious infections in which multidrug resistance and mixed Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial infections may be a concern.

Project description:ObjectivesPhysicians must leverage several factors when making antibiotic therapy decisions, including route of administration and duration of therapy. Oral administration provides several potential advantages including increased accessibility, prevention of hospitalizations and earlier discharges. Sulopenem-a broad-spectrum, synthetic penem β-lactam agent-uniquely possesses both oral and IV formulations along with noted stability among antimicrobial-resistant subsets. This study evaluated the in vitro activity of sulopenem and comparator agents against contemporary Enterobacterales and anaerobic clinical isolates predominantly from patients with bloodstream, intra-abdominal and urinary tract infections.MethodsA contemporary collection of 1647 Enterobacterales and 559 anaerobic isolates was assembled from medical centres in Europe and the USA. Isolates were susceptibility tested using the CLSI reference methods: broth microdilution for Enterobacterales and agar dilution for anaerobes.ResultsSulopenem demonstrated potent in vitro antimicrobial activity (MIC50/90, 0.03/0.25 mg/L) against Enterobacterales isolates regardless of infection type, inhibiting 99.2% of isolates at ≤1 mg/L. This activity was conserved against resistant phenotypes including ESBL-phenotype Escherichia coli (MIC50/90, 0.03/0.06 mg/L) and ESBL-phenotype Klebsiella pneumoniae (MIC50/90, 0.06/1 mg/L). Sulopenem maintained activity against ciprofloxacin-, nitrofurantoin- and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole-non-susceptible subsets (MIC50/90, 0.03-0.06/0.12-0.5 mg/L). Against anaerobic isolates, sulopenem (98.9% inhibited at ≤4 mg/L) and meropenem [98.4% susceptible (CLSI)] were the most active compounds tested.ConclusionsThe potent in vitro activity of sulopenem against this large collection of recent Enterobacterales and anaerobic clinical isolates from multiple infection types supports its further clinical evaluation in the treatment of intra-abdominal and urinary tract infections.

Project description:The Assessing Worldwide Antimicrobial Resistance Evaluation (AWARE) surveillance program is a sentinel resistance monitoring system designed to track the activity of ceftaroline and comparator agents. In the United States, a total of 8,434 isolates were collected during the 2010 surveillance program from 65 medical centers distributed across the nine census regions (5 to 10 medical centers per region). All organisms were isolated from documented infections, including 3,055 (36.2%) bloodstream infections, 2,282 (27.1%) respiratory tract infections, 1,965 (23.3%) acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections, 665 (7.9%) urinary tract infections, and 467 (5.5%) miscellaneous other infection sites. Ceftaroline was the most potent ?-lactam agent tested against staphylococci. The MIC(90) values were 1 ?g/ml for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA; 98.4% susceptible) and 0.5 ?g/ml for methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). Ceftaroline was 16- to 32-fold more potent than ceftriaxone against methicillin-susceptible staphylococcal strains. All staphylococcus isolates (S. aureus and CoNS) were inhibited at ceftaroline MIC values of ? 2 ?g/ml. Ceftaroline also displayed potent activity against streptococci (MIC(90), 0.015 ?g/ml for beta-hemolytic streptococci; MIC(90), 0.25 ?g/ml for penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae). Potent activity was also shown against Gram-negative pathogens (Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis). Furthermore, wild-type strains of Enterobacteriaceae (non-extended-spectrum ?-lactamase [ESBL]-producing strains and non-AmpC-hyperproducing strains) were often susceptible to ceftaroline. Continued monitoring through surveillance networks will allow for the assessment of the evolution of resistance as this new cephalosporin is used more broadly to provide clinicians with up-to-date information to assist in antibiotic stewardship and therapeutic decision making.

Project description:BackgroundNeisseria gonorrhoeae (commonly known as gonorrhea) has developed resistance to all first-line therapy in Southeast Asia. East Africa has historically had absent or rudimentary gonorrhea surveillance programs and, while the existence of antimicrobial-resistant gonorrhea is recognized, the extent of its resistance is largely unknown. In 2016, the World Health Organization's Enhanced Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Program (EGASP) was initiated in Uganda to monitor resistance trends.ObjectiveThis study characterizes gonorrhea and antibiotic resistance in a large surveillance program of men with urethral discharge syndrome from Kampala, Uganda.MethodsMen attending sentinel clinics with urethritis provided demographic information, behavior data, and a urethral swab in line with the World Health Organization's EGASP protocols for culture, identification, and antibiotic-sensitivity testing using 2 methods-disk diffusion (Kirby-Bauer test) and Etest (BioMérieux Inc). A subset of samples underwent detailed antimicrobial resistance testing.ResultsOf 639 samples collected from September 2016 to February 2018, 400 (62.6%) were culture-positive though 414 (64.8%) had microscopic evidence of gonorrhea. The mean age of the men from whom the samples were collected was 26.9 (SD 9.6) years and 7.2% (46/639) reported having HIV. There was high-level resistance to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, and penicillin (greater than 90%) by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion and 2.1% (4/188) had reduced azithromycin sensitivity by Etest. Of the early isolates that underwent detailed characterization, 60.3% (70/116) were culture-positive, 94% (66/69) isolates were either ciprofloxacin-resistant or ciprofloxacin-intermediate by Etest, 96% (65/68) were azithromycin-sensitive, and 96% (66/69) were gentamicin-sensitive. Resistance profiles were comparable between methods except for ceftriaxone (disk diffusion: 68/69, 99%; Etest: 67/69, 97%) and for gentamicin (disk diffusion: 2/8, 25%; Etest: 66/69, 96%) sensitivity.ConclusionsThis is the first report from a systematic gonorrhea surveillance program in Uganda. Findings demonstrated resistance or increased minimum inhibitory concentration to all key antigonococcal antibiotics. There was evidence of poor antibiotic stewardship, near-universal resistance to several antibiotics, and emerging resistance to others. Individuals in the population sampled were at exceptionally high risk of STI and HIV infection requiring intervention. Ongoing surveillance efforts to develop interventions to curtail antimicrobial-resistant gonorrhea are needed.

Project description:Omadacycline is a derivative of minocycline and the first agent of the aminomethylcycline class. A total of 3,282 organisms (1 per patient) were consecutively collected from patients hospitalized in China (including Hong Kong) and Taiwan. Susceptibility testing was performed by broth microdilution methods in a central laboratory (JMI Laboratories). The collection included Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms from patients with pneumonia, bloodstream, skin, community-acquired respiratory, and other infections. Omadacycline was very potent against Staphylococcus aureus (n = 689; MIC50/90, 0.12/0.25 mg/liter), including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA; n = 299; MIC50/90, 0.12/0.5 mg/liter), and had similar activity across geographic regions. Omadacycline was very active against Streptococcus pneumoniae (highest MIC, 0.25 mg/liter), β-hemolytic streptococci (highest MIC, 1 mg/liter), viridans group streptococci (highest MIC, 0.25 mg/liter), and Enterococcus spp. (highest MIC, 0.5 mg/liter) from all geographic regions. Overall, 53.8% of S. pneumoniae isolates were penicillin resistant (penicillin MIC, ≥2 mg/liter) and 10.7% of enterococci (21.2% among E. faecium isolates) were vancomycin resistant. Omadacycline was active against Haemophilus influenzae (MIC50/90, 0.5/1 mg/liter) regardless of β-lactamase production and was active against Moraxella catarrhalis (MIC50/90, ≤0.12/0.25 mg/liter). Against Enterobacteriaceae, omadacycline was most active against Escherichia coli (MIC50/90, 1/2 mg/liter), Klebsiella oxytoca (MIC50/90, 1/4 mg/liter), and Enterobacter cloacae (MIC50/90, 2/4 mg/liter). Omadacycline had potent in vitro activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens isolated from China and Taiwan and retained activity against problem pathogens, such as MRSA, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae (PRSPN), and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E. coli The observed MIC profile in Chinese isolates was very similar to that seen in the U.S. and European surveillance studies.
