In Vitro Activity of Cefiderocol Against Meropenem-Nonsusceptible Gram-Negative Bacilli with Defined β-Lactamase Carriage: SIDERO-WT Surveillance Studies, 2014-2019.

ABSTRACT: We examined the in vitro susceptibility of meropenem-nonsusceptible Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii complex isolates from five consecutive annual SIDERO-WT surveillance studies (2014-2019) to cefiderocol and comparator agents in the context of their carbapenemase carriage. 1,003 Enterobacterales, 1,758 P. aeruginosa, and 2,809 A. baumannii complex isolates from North America and Europe that were meropenem nonsusceptible (CLSI M100, 2022) were molecularly characterized for β-lactamase content by PCR followed by Sanger sequencing or by whole genome sequencing. Among Enterobacterales, 91.5% of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing, 98.4% of KPC-producing, 97.3% of OXA-48 group-producing, and 98.7% of carbapenemase-negative
