Antimicrobial activities of ceftazidime/avibactam, ceftolozane/tazobactam, imipenem/relebactam, meropenem/vaborbactam, and comparators against Pseudomonas aeruginosa from patients with skin and soft tissue infections
Background: The limited armamentarium against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli led to the development of a new generation of β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations (BL/BLI). Objectives: To evaluate the in vitro activity of ceftazidime/avibactam, ceftolozane/tazobactam, meropenem/vaborb...

| Sumario: | Background: The limited armamentarium against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli led to the development of a new generation of β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations (BL/BLI). Objectives: To evaluate the in vitro activity of ceftazidime/avibactam, ceftolozane/tazobactam, meropenem/vaborbactam, and imipenem/relebactam against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates recovered from patients hospitalized with skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in several countries around the world. Methods: A total of 360 P. aeruginosa isolates were consecutively collected from 47 medical centers located in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, and Latin America. Susceptibility testing was performed by broth microdilution method at a monitoring laboratory. EUCAST breakpoints were applied. Results: Ceftazidime/avibactam (98.3% susceptible), ceftolozane/tazobactam (98.6% susceptible), and imipenem/relebactam (98.3% susceptible) were the most active compounds after colistin (100.0% susceptible) and retained activity against isolates nonsusceptible to piperacillin/tazobactam, meropenem, imipenem, and/or ceftazidime. Meropenem-vaborbactam was active against 94.2% of isolates. Ceftazidime/avibactam was the most active BL/BLI against meropenem-nonsusceptible (92.6% susceptible) and imipenem-resistant (93.8% susceptible) isolates, whereas ceftolozane/tazobactam was the most active BL/BLI against piperacillin/tazobactam-resistant (91.1% susceptible) and ceftazidime-resistant (91.7% susceptible) isolates. Conclusions: The recently approved BL/BLIs demonstrated potent activity and broad coverage against contemporary P. aeruginosa isolates from patients with SSTIs. |
