Objective. To assess the in vitro activity of ceftazidime-avibactam against clinical Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in various regions of Russia based on results of local susceptibility testing by disk diffusion method. Materials and Methods. Overall, 160 laboratories located in 61 Russian cities participated in this surveillance during 2018-2020. All consecutive clinical isolates of Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in each participating laboratory were included in the study. Ceftazidime-avibactam susceptibility testing was done by disc-diffusion method in accordance with current EUCAST recommendations. Susceptibility data for carbapenems and III-IV generation cephalosporins, as well as results of carbapenemases detection, were also reported, if available. All the data were recorded in electronic case report form developed on the OpenClinica online platform (www.openclinica.com). Data analysis and reporting were done using AMRcloud online platform (https://amrcloud.net/). Results. In total, we received information on antimicrobial susceptibility of 22,121 isolates, including 17,456 (78.9%) Enterobacterales and 4,665 (21.1%) P. aeruginosa. Less than 9% of Enterobacterales isolates were resistant to ceftazidime-avibactam. At the same time rates of resistance to ceftazidime, cefotaxime, cefepime, ertapenem, imipenem, and meropenem were 54.1%, 58.9%, 59.4%, 41.4%, 23.9%, and 21.3%. Among Enterobacterales the highest level of resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam was detected in K. pneumoniae (16.5%), lowest – in E. coli (2.1%). Some increase of resistance to ceftazidimeavibactam was noted during the study – from 7.8% in 2018-2019 to 9.6% in 2020 (p = 0.0001). Rate of resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam in P. aeruginosa was 33.1%. At the same time rates of resistance to ceftazidime, cefepime, imipenem, and meropenem were 51.1%, 54.5%, 50%, and 47.3%. During the study there was statistically significant decrease in resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam in P. aeruginosa (p = 0.0001). Resistance rates for all beta-lactams for both Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa were higher in nosocomial isolates than in community-acquired isolates. Conclusions. Ceftazidime-avibactam demonstrated significantly higher in vitro activity against Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa Russian clinical isolates comparing with commonly used carbapenems and extended spectrum cephalosporins. Access for all study data available at the AMRcloud online platform (https://amrcloud.net/ru/project/cazavi-1-2/).

Abstract Background Rifabutin, an oral drug approved to treat Mycobacterium avium infections, demonstrated potent activity against Acinetobacter baumannii in nutrient-limited medium enabled by rifabutin cellular uptake through the siderophore receptor FhuE. Objectives To determine rifabutin in vitro activity and resistance mechanisms in a large panel of A. baumannii isolates. Methods Two hundred and ninety-three carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii clinical isolates collected from Europe, the USA and Asia during 2017–19 were used for MIC determination. Sequencing/genotyping of fhuE, rpoB and arr-2 genes in isolates with elevated rifabutin MIC combined with genetic engineering and gene expression quantification was used to characterize rifabutin’s mode of action and resistance mechanisms. Results Rifabutin showed excellent activity on the strain panel, with an MIC50/90 of 0.008/1 mg/L, and was superior to all other antibiotics tested, including colistin, tigecycline and cefiderocol (MIC90 of 8 mg/L). Rifabutin remained active on resistant subpopulations, including strains resistant to the siderophore–drug conjugate cefiderocol (MIC90 of 2 mg/L, n = 23). At least two independent resistance mechanisms were required to abolish rifabutin activity, which is in line with the dose-dependent mutational resistance frequency reaching 10−9 at rifabutin concentrations at or above 2 mg/L. Conclusions This study demonstrated the potent activity of rifabutin against carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii. We propose that FhuE-mediated active uptake of rifabutin enables activity against rifampicin-resistant isolates. To achieve clinically meaningful strain coverage and to avoid rapid resistance development, rifabutin concentrations ≥2 mg/L are required, something rifabutin oral formulations cannot deliver.

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.
