Aztreonam Combinations with Avibactam, Relebactam, and Vaborbactam as Treatment for New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales Infections-In Vitro Susceptibility Testing.

ABSTRACT: Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health issue. Metallo-β-lactamases (MBL), in particular, are problematic because they can inactivate all classes of β-lactams except aztreonam. Unfortunately, the latter may be simultaneously inactivated by serine β-lactamases. The most dangerous known MBL is New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase (NDM). This study aimed to test the in vitro susceptibility to aztreonam in combination with novel β-lactamase inhibitors (avibactam, relebactam, and vaborbactam) in clinical strains of Enterobacterales NDM which is resistant to aztreonam. We investigated 21 NDM isolates-including Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Citrobacter freundii-which are simultaneously resistant to aztreonam, ceftazidime/avibactam, imipenem/relebactam, and m
