Objective. To determine in vitro activity of thiamphenicol and other clinically available antimicrobials against clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes. Materials and Methods. We included in the study 875 clinical isolates from 20 Russian cities during 2018–2019. Among tested strains, 126 were H. influenzae, 389 – S. pneumoniae, 360 – S. pyogenes. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using broth microdilution method according to ISO 20776-1:2006. AST results were interpreted according to EUCAST v.11.0 clinical breakpoints. Results. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of thiamphenicol did not exceed 2 mg/L for 94.4% of H. influenzae strains (MIC50 and MIC90 were 0.5 and 1 mg/L, respectively). Thiamphenicol was active against 76.9% of ampicillin-resistant H. influenzae strains (MIC of thiamphenicol < 2 mg/L). The MIC of thiamphenicol was in the range of 0.06–2 mg/L for 96.7% of S. pneumoniae strains (MIC50 and MIC90 were 0.5 and 2 mg/L, respectively). The MIC of thiamphenicol for 90.6% of S. pneumoniae strains with reduced susceptibility to penicillin (MIC of penicillin > 0.06 mg/L) did not exceed 2 mg/L. A total of 88.1% of S. pneumoniae strains resistant to erythromycin were highly susceptible to thiamphenicol (MIC < 2 mg/L). The MIC of thiamphenicol did not exceed 8 mg/L for 96.1% of S. pyogenes strains (MIC50 and MIC90 were 2 and 4 mg/L, respectively). Conclusions. Thiamphenicol was characterized by relatively high in vitro activity, comparable to that of chloramphenicol, against tested strains of H. influenzae, S. pneumoniae and S. pyogenes, including S. pneumoniae isolates with reduced susceptibility to penicillin.

Abstract Background QPX7728 (QPX) is a novel broad-spectrum boron-containing inhibitor of serine- and metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). We evaluated the in vitro activity of QPX combined with several β-lactams against carbapenem-resistant AB (CRAB) and PSA clinical isolates with varying β-lactam resistance mechanisms. Methods A total of 503 CRAB (meropenem [MEM] MIC ≥8 µg/mL) and 762 PSA clinical isolates were tested by the reference broth microdilution method against β-lactams alone and combined with QPX (4 µg/mL and 8 µg/mL). PSA isolates were selected to represent the normal distribution of MEM, ceftazidime–avibactam (CAZ-AVI), and ceftolozane-tazobactam (TOL-TAZ) resistance according to 2017 surveillance data (representative panel). Additionally, 262 PSA isolates that were either nonsusceptible (NS) to MEM (MIC, ≥4 µg/mL) or to TOL-TAZ (MIC, ≥8 µg/mL), or resistant (R) to CAZ-AVI (MIC, ≥16 µg/mL) (challenge panel) were also tested. Within this 262 strain challenge set, 56 strains carried MBLs and the majority also had nonfunctional OprD. Results Against CRAB, QPX at 4 and 8 µg/mL increased the potency of all β-lactams tested. MEM-QPX was the most potent combination (table) displaying MIC50/MIC90 at 1/8 and 0.5/4 µg/mL with QPX at fixed 4 and 8 µg/mL, respectively. Susceptibility (S) to MEM was restored in >95% of strains. Against the 500 PSA from the representative panel, S for all QPX combinations was >90%. For the challenge panel, TOL-QPX and piperacillin (PIP)-QPX were the most potent combinations, restoring S in 76–77% of strains. TOL-QPX and MEM-QPX or cefepime (FEP)-QPX restored the MIC values to S rates when applying the CLSI breakpoint for the compound alone (comparison purposes only) in ~90% and ~75% of non-MBL-producing strains, respectively, vs. 60–70% for TOL-TAZ and CAZ-AVI. PIP-QPX reduce the MIC values to S values for PIP-TAZ in ~60% of MBL-producing strains vs. 20–30% and 3–7% for other QPX combinations and non-QPX tested combinations, respectively. Conclusion Combinations of QPX with various β-lactam antibiotics displayed potent activity against CRAB and resistant PSA isolates and warrant further investigation.

ABSTRACT The activity of a new ketolide, ABT-773, was compared to the activity of the ketolide telithromycin (HMR-3647) against over 600 gram-positive clinical isolates, including 356 Streptococcus pneumoniae, 167 Staphylococcus aureus, and 136 Streptococcus pyogenes isolates. Macrolide-susceptible isolates as well as macrolide-resistant isolates with ribosomal methylase (Erm), macrolide efflux (Mef), and ribosomal mutations were tested using the NCCLS reference broth microdilution method. Both compounds were extremely active against macrolide-susceptible isolates, with the minimum inhibitory concentrations at which 90% of the isolates tested were inhibited (MIC90s) for susceptible streptococci and staphylococci ranging from 0.002 to 0.03 μg/ml for ABT-773 and 0.008 to 0.06 μg/ml for telithromycin. ABT-773 had increased activities against macrolide-resistant S. pneumoniae (Erm MIC90, 0.015 μg/ml; Mef MIC90, 0.12 μg/ml) compared to those of telithromycin (Erm MIC90, 0.12 μg/ml; Mef MIC90, 1 μg/ml). Both compounds were active against strains with rRNA or ribosomal protein mutations (MIC90, 0.12 μg/ml). ABT-773 was also more active against macrolide-resistant S. pyogenes (ABT-773 Erm MIC90, 0.5 μg/ml; ABT-773 Mef MIC90, 0.12 μg/ml; telithromycin Erm MIC90, >8 μg/ml; telithromycin Mef MIC90, 1.0 μg/ml). Both compounds lacked activity against constitutive macrolide-resistant Staphylococcus aureus but had good activities against inducibly resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ABT-773 MIC90, 0.06 μg/ml; telithromycin MIC90, 0.5 μg/ml). ABT-773 has superior activity against macrolide-resistant streptococci compared to that of telithromycin.

ABSTRACT The in vitro activities of ABT-773, azithromycin, erythromycin, and clindamycin were compared by testing 1,223 clinical isolates selected to represent different species and phenotypes. ABT-773 was particularly potent against staphylococci (the MIC at which 90% of the strains tested were inhibited [MIC90] was ≤0.06 μg/ml), including all strains that were macrolide resistant but clindamycin susceptible.Streptococcus pneumoniae and other streptococci were inhibited by low concentrations of ABT-773, and that included most erythromycin-resistant strains. Against Haemophilus influenzae, ABT-773 and azithromycin were similar in their antibacterial potency (MIC90, 4.0 and 2.0 μg/ml, respectively).

Abstract Background Tebipenem (TBP) is an orally administered broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic under development for the treatment of acute pyelonephritis and complicated urinary tract infections. This study evaluated the effect of bovine pulmonary surfactant (BPS) on the in vitro activity of TBP and ertapenem (ETP) against a recent collection of clinical isolates. Methods A total of 10 isolates recovered from patients with infections in 2018 were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility to TBP and ETP in the absence or presence of 1%, 5%, or 10% BPS (Infasurf; ONY Biotech). These isolates included the following species: C. freundii, E. cloacae, E. coli, H. influenzae, H. parainfluenzae, K. pneumoniae, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus, M. catarrhalis, S. pneumoniae, and S. pyogenes. Isolates were tested with the appropriate broth microdilution method for each organism as specified by CLSI. For most organisms, MICs were determined in cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth (CAMHB). CAMHB was supplemented with 2.5-5% lysed horse blood for streptococci and Haemophilus Test Medium broth for Haemophilus spp. Daptomycin (DAP) was tested against S. aureus ATCC 29213 as a positive control. Results All isolates displayed TBP MIC values ranging from ≤0.004 to 0.06 mg/L in media without BPS. There were no observed MIC increases &gt;2-fold in the presence of BPS. 4 of the 10 isolates displayed slightly higher (≥4-fold) ETP than TBP MIC values. The ETP MIC values ranged from 0.015-0.25 mg/L in media without BPS. Similarly, there were no observed instances of a &gt;2-fold shift toward lower potency in the presence of BPS. For both TBP and ETP, MIC endpoint values were easily determined, except for in the case of the 2 Haemophilus strains growing in the presence of 5% or 10% BPS. For these conditions, resazurin was added to establish an MIC value. The MIC values found with this method did not differ from the MIC values found in either HTM media or HTM media with 1% BPS. As expected, the addition of BPS shifted DAP S. aureus MIC values to &gt;8 mg/L for all 3 BPS concentrations. Conclusion TBP displayed potent activity against all isolates tested, as all observed MIC values were ≤0.06 mg/L. The addition of BPS to the testing medium did not affect the in vitro MIC values of TBP or ETP against these species.

Abstract Background Cefiderocol (S-649266, CFDC) is a novel siderophore cephalosporin against Gram-negatives, including carbapenem (CR)-resistant strains. Its spectrum includes both the Enterobacteriaceae but also nonfermenters, including Stenotrophomonas maltophilia—an opportunistic pathogen with intrinsic resistance to carbapenem antibiotics. In this study, in vitro activity and in vivo efficacy of CFDC and comparators against S. maltophilia were determined. Methods MICs of CFDC and comparators (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX), minocycline (MINO), tigecycline (TGC), ciprofloxacin (CPFX), cefepime (CFPM), meropenem (MEPM), and colistin (CL)) were determined by broth microdilution method as recommended by CLSI. The MIC against CFDC was determined using iron-depleted cation-adjusted Mueller–Hinton broth. In vivo efficacy of CFDC, CFPM, ceftazidime–avibactam (CAZ/AVI), MEPM, and CL was evaluated using neutropenic murine systemic infection model caused by strain SR21970. The 50% effective doses (ED50s) were calculated by the logit method using the survival number at each dose 7 days after infection. Results MIC90 of CFDC and comparators against the 216 clinical isolates from global countries collected in SIDERO-CR 2014/2016 study are shown in the table. CFDC, TMP/SMX, MINO, and TGC showed good activity with MIC90 of 0.5, 0.25/4.75, 1, and 2 µg/mL, respectively. CFDC, MINO, and TGC inhibited growth of all tested strains at ≤1, ≤4, and ≤8 µg/mL although two strains showed resistance to TMP/SMX. MICs of CFPM, CAZ/AVI, MEPM, and CL were ≥32 µg/mL. The ED50 of CFDC against S. maltophilia SR21970 with MIC of 0.125 mg/mL was 1.17 mg/kg/dose. Conversely, MICs of CFPM, CAZ/AVI, MEPM/CS, and CL against SR21970 were 32 μg/mL or higher, and ED50s were &gt;100 mg/kg/dose, showing that CFDC had potent in vivo efficacy against S. maltophilia strain which was resistant to other antibiotics. Conclusion CFDC showed potent in vitro activity against S. maltophilia, including TMP/SMX-resistant isolates. CFDC also showed potent in vivo efficacy reflecting in vitro activity against S. maltophilia in murine systemic infection model. Disclosures A. Ito, Shionogi & Co., Ltd.: Employee, Salary. M.

Abstract Background Levonadifloxacin is a novel antibiotic belonging to the benzoquinolizine subclass of fluoroquinolones with potent activity against MRSA and quinolone-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. IV levonadifloxacin and its oral prodrug alalevonadifloxacin have recently been approved in India for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) including diabetic foot infections. Objectives To investigate the in vitro activity of levonadifloxacin against contemporary clinical isolates collected from multiple tertiary care hospitals across India in the Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profiling of Indian Resistotypes (ASPIRE) surveillance study. Methods A total of 1376 clinical isolates, consisting of staphylococci (n = 677), streptococci (n = 178), Enterobacterales (n = 320), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 140) and Acinetobacter baumannii (n = 61), collected (2016–18) from 16 tertiary hospitals located across 12 states in India, were included in the study. The MICs of levonadifloxacin and comparator antibiotics were determined using the reference agar dilution method and broth microdilution method. Results Levonadifloxacin exhibited potent activity against MSSA (MIC50/90: 0.5/1 mg/L), MRSA (MIC50/90: 0.5/1 mg/L) and levofloxacin-resistant S. aureus (MIC50/90: 1/1 mg/L) isolates. Similarly, potent activity of levonadifloxacin was also observed against CoNS including MDR isolates (MIC50/90: 1/2 mg/L). Against Streptococcus pneumoniae, levonadifloxacin (MIC50/90: 0.5/0.5 mg/L) showed superior activity compared with levofloxacin (MIC50/90: 1/2 mg/L). Among levofloxacin-susceptible Enterobacterales, 80.6% of isolates were inhibited at ≤2 mg/L levonadifloxacin. Conclusions Levonadifloxacin displayed potent activity against contemporary MRSA and fluoroquinolone-resistant staphylococcal isolates, thus offering a valuable IV as well as an oral therapeutic option for the treatment of ABSSSIs. Furthermore, levonadifloxacin exhibited a broad-spectrum activity profile as evident from its activity against streptococci and levofloxacin-susceptible Gram-negative isolates.

The in vitro activity of the trinem sanfetrinem (formerly GV104326) (GV) was compared with that of vancomycin, ampicillin, and/or nafcillin against 287 gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and multiresistant enterococci, by the agar and microbroth dilution methods. GV demonstrated 2 to 16 times more activity than ampicillin and nafcillin against the majority of these organisms. The MIC range of GV was 16 to 64 micrograms/ml for 19 Enterococcus faecium strains that were highly resistant to ampicillin (ampicillin MIC range, 64 to 512 micrograms/ml) and vancomycin resistant and 0.25 to 32 micrograms/ml for resistant Rhodococcus spp. Similar activities (+/-1 dilution) were observed by either the agar or the broth microdilution method. GV demonstrated bactericidal activity against a beta-lactamase-producing Enterococcus faecalis strain and against two methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus strains in 10(5)-CFU/ml inocula. Synergy between GV and gentamicin was observed against an E. faecalis strain that lacked high-level gentamicin resistance. The activity of GV suggests this compound warrants further study.
