This study investigates GT-1 (also known as LCB10-0200), a novel-siderophore cephalosporin, inhibited multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative pathogen, via a Trojan horse strategy exploiting iron-uptake systems. We investigated GT-1 activity and the role of siderophore uptake systems, and the combination of GT-1 and a non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) of diazabicyclooctane, GT-055, (also referred to as LCB18-055) against molecularly characterised resistant Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter spp. isolates. GT-1 and GT-1/GT-055 were tested in vitro against comparators among three different characterised panel strain sets. Bacterial resistome and siderophore uptake systems were characterised to elucidate the genetic basis for GT-1 minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). GT-1 exhibited in vitro activity (≤2 μg/mL MICs) against many MDR isolates, including extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)- and carbapenemase-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae and oxacillinase (OXA)-producing Acinetobacter spp. GT-1 also inhibited strains with mutated siderophore transporters and porins. Although BLI GT-055 exhibited intrinsic activity (MIC 2–8 μg/mL) against most E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates, GT-055 enhanced the activity of GT-1 against many GT-1–resistant strains. Compared with CAZ-AVI, GT-1/GT-055 exhibited lower MICs against E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates. GT-1 demonstrated potent in vitro activity against clinical panel strains of E. coli, K. pneumoniae and Acinetobacter spp. GT-055 enhanced the in vitro activity of GT-1 against many GT-1–resistant strains.

Abstract Background There are limited options available for the treatment of infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae that produce an NDM metallo-β-lactamase. The purpose of this study was to compare the in vitro activity of aztreonam in combination with three different β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors (ceftazidime–avibactam, amoxicillin-clavulanate, piperacillin–tazobactam) vs. NDM-positive Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates. Methods Seven Escherichia coli and three Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates (all NDM-positive by PCR) were included in this study. The in vitro activities of ceftazidime–avibactam, amoxicillin-clavulanate, piperacillin–tazobactam, and aztreonam were determined by disk diffusion as described by CLSI. For synergy testing, disks containing a β-lactamase inhibitor (ceftazidime–avibactam, amoxicillin-clavulanate, piperacillin tazobactam) were applied to Mueller–Hinton agar plates inoculated with the test organisms, and the plates were incubated for 1 hour. The disks were then removed and aztreonam disks were dropped on the previous disk sites. The plates were then incubated as per standard CLSI recommendations for disk diffusion testing. Results All ten isolates demonstrated phenotypic resistance to aztreonam, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and piperacillin–tazobactam, and eight were resistant to ceftazidime–avibactam (CLSI breakpoints). The zone diameter observed for aztreonam in combination with ceftazidime–avibactam was greater than for either antimicrobial on its own for nine isolates. Seven isolates (70%) had susceptibility to aztreonam restored (zone diameter ≥21 mm) in the presence of avibactam. Aztreonam in combination with amoxicillin-clavulanate demonstrated in increase in zone diameter for all isolates relative to the zone for each antimicrobial alone, but only two (20%) had aztreonam susceptibility restored. Aztreonam susceptibility was not restored for any of the isolates in combination with piperacillin–tazobactam. Conclusion Of the three β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor-aztreonam combinations evaluated, ceftazidime–avibactam plus aztreonam demonstrated the greatest in vitro activity vs. NDM-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

Abstract Background Omadacycline, an aminomethylcycline, was approved in 2018 for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia. In a Phase Ib study, around 34% of the absorbed dose of omadacycline was shown to be excreted in urine—an important property for urinary tract infection (UTI) treatment. Therefore, omadacycline has been studied in two Phase II trials for the treatment of uncomplicated UTIs and acute pyelonephritis. The activity of omadacycline against UTI pathogens in human urine is important to understand in this context. Objectives To study the in vitro activity of omadacycline against UTI pathogens in human urine supplemented with calcium and magnesium. Methods Omadacycline activity was compared with that of levofloxacin against the urinary pathogens Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus saprophyticus in standard medium, pooled normal human urine and neutral pH-adjusted pooled normal human urine spiked with calcium or magnesium at concentrations consistent with hypercalcaemia and hypermagnesaemia. Results The activities of omadacycline and levofloxacin against these urinary pathogens were lower in urine relative to standard medium; addition of Mg2+ to broth and urine had a further negative impact on omadacycline activity, whereas the addition of Ca2+ had less of an impact. Levofloxacin activity was not substantially reduced in either broth or urine by the addition of divalent cations. Conclusions The activity of omadacycline against UTI organisms was lower in urine relative to standard medium and was negatively impacted by magnesium. Omadacycline displayed slightly reduced activity when excess calcium was present, but, overall, the differences were ≤2-fold. These observations should be considered along with the pharmacokinetics of the agent for clinical context.

Abstract Objectives To compare the in vitro activity of plazomicin and two older aminoglycosides (gentamicin and amikacin) against 180 isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, including subsets of 60 non-ESBL-producing, 60 ESBL-producing and 60 carbapenem-resistant (46 carrying blaOXA-48, 11 carrying blaNDM and 3 carrying blaOXA-48 and blaNDM) strains. Methods MICs of plazomicin, gentamicin and amikacin were determined by a gradient diffusion method. Gentamicin and amikacin MICs were interpreted according to CLSI criteria and EUCAST breakpoint tables. Plazomicin MICs were interpreted using FDA-defined breakpoints. Results All non-ESBL-producing and ESBL-producing isolates were susceptible to plazomicin. The plazomicin susceptibility rate (71.7%) in carbapenem-resistant isolates was significantly higher than those observed for gentamicin (45%) and amikacin (56.7% and 51.7% according to CLSI and EUCAST breakpoints, respectively). Gentamicin, amikacin and plazomicin susceptibility rates (35.6% for gentamicin; 44.4% and 37.8% for amikacin according to CLSI and EUCAST breakpoints, respectively; 64.4% for plazomicin) in carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae were significantly lower than those observed for carbapenem-resistant E. coli isolates (73.3% for gentamicin; 93.3% for amikacin and plazomicin). Gentamicin, amikacin and plazomicin susceptibility rates for blaNDM-positive isolates were lower than those observed for blaOXA-48-positive isolates, but differences were not statistically significant. Among the isolates that were non-susceptible to both gentamicin and amikacin, the plazomicin susceptibility rate was less than 30%. Conclusions Although plazomicin showed excellent in vitro activity against carbapenem-susceptible isolates, the plazomicin resistance rate increased to 35.6% among carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae and further increased to 45.5% among blaNDM-positive isolates.

Carbapenem antibiotics remain the treatment of choice for severe infection due to ESBL- and AmpC-producing Enterobacterales . The use of carbapenems is a major driver of the emergence of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli, which are often resistant to most available antimicrobials.
