Antimicrobial Activity of Aztreonam-Avibactam and Comparator Agents When Tested against a Large Collection of Contemporary Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Isolates from Medical Centers Worldwide.

ABSTRACT: Aztreonam-avibactam was tested against 1,839 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates collected worldwide and demonstrated potent activity against isolates from all geographic regions and infection types (overall MIC_50/90, 4/4 mg/liter; 97.8% inhibited at ≤8 mg/liter). Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) (MIC_50/90, ≤0.5/1 mg/liter; 95.4% susceptible) and minocycline (MIC_50/90, 0.5/2 mg/liter; 99.5% susceptible) were also very active. Aztreonam-avibactam inhibited 84.7% of non-TMP-SMX-susceptible isolates at ≤8 mg/liter. Aztreonam-avibactam may represent a valuable option for the treatment of S. maltophilia infections, addressing a major unmet medical need.

Project description:The intrinsic L1 metallo- and L2 serine-β-lactamases in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia make it naturally multidrug resistant and difficult to treat. There is a need to identify novel treatment strategies for this pathogen, especially against isolates resistant to first-line agents. Aztreonam in combination with avibactam has demonstrated potential, although data on other aztreonam-β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) combinations are lacking. Additionally, molecular mechanisms for reduced susceptibility to these combinations have not been explored. The objectives of this study were to evaluate and compare the in vitro activities and to understand the mechanisms of resistance to aztreonam in combination with avibactam, clavulanate, relebactam, and vaborbactam against S. maltophilia A panel of 47 clinical S. maltophilia strains nonsusceptible to levofloxacin and/or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were tested against each aztreonam-BLI combination via broth microdilution, and 6 isolates were then evaluated in time-kill analyses. Three isolates with various aztreonam-BLI MICs were subjected to whole-genome sequencing and quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR. Avibactam restored aztreonam susceptibility in 98% of aztreonam-resistant isolates, compared to 61, 71, and 15% with clavulanate, relebactam, and vaborbactam, respectively. The addition of avibactam to aztreonam resulted in a ≥2-log10-CFU/ml decrease at 24 h versus aztreonam alone against 5/6 isolates compared to 1/6 with clavulanate, 4/6 with relebactam, and 2/6 with vaborbactam. Molecular analyses revealed that decreased susceptibility to aztreonam-avibactam was associated with increased expression of genes encoding L1 and L2, as well as the efflux pump (smeABC). Aztreonam-avibactam is the most promising BLI-combination against multidrug-resistant S. maltophilia Decreased susceptibility may be due to the combination of overexpressed β-lactamases and efflux pumps. Further studies evaluating this combination against S. maltophilia are warranted.
