In vitro antibacterial activity of the ceftazidime-avibactam (NXL104) combination against Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates.

چکیده
The β-lactamase inhibitor avibactam (NXL104) displays potent inhibition of both class A and C enzymes. The in vitro antibacterial activity of the combination ceftazidime-avibactam was evaluated against a clinical panel of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Avibactam offered efficient protection from hydrolysis since 94% of isolates were susceptible to ceftazidime when combined with 4 μg/ml avibactam, compared with 65% susceptible to ceftazidime alone. Ceftazidime-avibactam also demonstrated better antipseudomonal activity than imipenem (82% susceptibility), a common reference treatment.

The in vitro activity of ceftazidime in combination with NXL104 versus 470 Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates was evaluated using Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) broth microdilution methods. Ceftazidime had MIC₉₀s of 8 μg/ml and 32 μg/ml in the presence and absence of NXL104, respectively. Of 25 multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates, the percentages with a ceftazid...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of ceftazidime+NXL104 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other non-fermenters.
BACKGROUND NXL104 potentiates ceftazidime and ceftaroline against Enterobacteriaceae with extended-spectrum, AmpC, KPC and OXA β-lactamases. We examined whether similar potentiation was obtained against non-fermenters, which are less permeable than Enterobacteriaceae and have more potent efflux. METHODS MICs of ceftazidime+NXL104 (with NXL104 at 4 mg/L) and comparators were determined by CLSI...
متن کاملComparative in vitro and in vivo efficacies of human simulated doses of ceftazidime and ceftazidime-avibactam against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The combination of ceftazidime and avibactam possesses potent activity against resistant Gram-negative pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We compared the efficacies of human simulated doses of ceftazidime and ceftazidime-avibactam using a hollow-fiber system and neutropenic and immunocompetent murine thigh infection models. Twenty-seven clinical P. aeruginosa isolates with ceftazidime...

Recent clinical isolates of key Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were collected in 2012 from hospitalised patients in medical centres in four European countries (France, Germany, Italy and Spain) and were tested using standard broth microdilution methodology to assess the impact of 4 mg/L avibactam on the in vitro activities of ceftazidime, ceftaroline and aztreonam. Against Enterobacte...
متن کاملCeftazidime–avibactam: an evidence-based review of its pharmacology and potential use in the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections
Avibactam (NXL104, AVE1330A) is a semi-synthetic, non-β-lactam, β-lactamase inhibitor that is active against Ambler class A, class C, and some class D serine β-lactamases. In this review, we summarize the in vitro data, pharmacology, mechanisms of action and resistance, and clinical trial data relating to the use of this agent combined with ceftazidime for the treatment of Gram-negative bacteri...
