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.

The siderophore–antibiotic conjugate LCB10-0200 (a.k.a. GT-1) has been developed to combat multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, the in vitro activity of LCB10-0200 and LCB10-0200/avibactam (AVI) has been investigated against carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of LCB10-0200, LCB10-0200/AVI, aztreonam, aztreonam/AVI, ceftazidime, ceftazidime/AVI, and meropenem were measured using the agar dilution method. Whole genome sequencing was performed using Illumina and the resistome was analyzed. LCB10-0200 displayed stronger activity than the comparator drugs in meropenem-resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae, and the addition of AVI enhanced the LCB10-0200 activity to MIC ≤ 0.12 mg/L for 90.5% of isolates. In contrast, whereas LCB10-0200 alone showed potent activity against meropenem-resistant A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa at MIC ≤ 4 mg/L for 84.3% of isolates, the combination with AVI did not improve its activity. LCB10-0200/AVI was active against CTX-M-, SHV-, CMY-, and KPC- producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae, while LCB10-0200 alone was active against ADC-, OXA-, and VIM- producing A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa. Both LCB10-0200 and LCB10-0200/AVI displayed low activity against IMP- and NDM- producing strains. LCB10-0200 alone exhibited strong activity against selected strains. The addition of AVI significantly increased LCB10-0200 activity against carbapenem-resistant E. coli, K. pneumoniae.

Abstract Background Plazomicin is a next-generation aminoglycoside with in vitro activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative species, including carbapenem-resistant isolates. The Consortium on Resistance Against Carbapenems in Klebsiella and other Enterobacteriaceae (CRACKLE) is a federally funded, prospective multicenter consortium of 20 hospitals from nine US healthcare systems to track carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Methods Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of plazomicin were determined by broth microdilution according to current CLSI guidelines against a collection of 697 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae with defined carbapenem resistance mechanisms, including KPC and OXA carbapenemases. Isolates were submitted by participating CRACKLE centers. Results Carbapenemases present in study isolates included KPC-2 (n = 323), KPC-3 (n = 364), KPC-4 (n = 2), OXA-48 like (n = 7), and NDM (n = 1). Plazomicin MICs ranged from ≤0.12 to >32 mg/L, with MIC50 and MIC90 values of 0.25 and 1 mg/L, respectively (figure). MICs of 689 (98.8%) isolates were ≤4 mg/L, while MICs of the remaining eight isolates were >32 mg/L. Plazomicin MICs were related to specific carbapenemases present in isolates: of eight isolates with MICs >32 mg/L, seven contained OXA-48 like and one contained KPC-3, suggesting that these isolates possess an aminoglycoside-resistance mechanism on the same plasmid as their carbapenemase gene, such as a 16S ribosomal RNA methyltransferase, against which plazomicin is not active. Conclusion Plazomicin has good in vitro potency against a collection of carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae, with MIC90 value of 1 mg/L and MICs of ≤4 mg/L for 98.9% of isolates. Disclosures M. R.

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.
