Susceptibility of cefiderocol and other antibiotics against carbapenem-resistant, Gram-negative bacteria.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cefiderocol is a promising antimicrobial agent against carbapenem-resistant, Gram-negative bacteria, but susceptibility data from the Chinese mainland are lacking. The aim of the present study was to test the susceptibility of cefiderocol against carbapenem-resistant, Gram-negative bacteria collected from Beijing, China.

Methods

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP; n=105), carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CR-AB; n=126), carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CR-PA; n=74), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (SM; n=72) isolates were collected from inpatients at 4 tertiary hospitals in Beijing, China. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for cefiderocol were determined using iron-depleted cation-adjusted
