Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: As cefiderocol is increasingly being prescribed in clinical practice, it is critical that we understand key mechanisms contributing to acquired resistance to this agent. METHODS: We describe a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and a New Delhi metallo-ß-lactamase (NDM)-5-producing Escherichia coli intra-abdominal infection in whom resistance to cefiderocol evolved approximately 2 weeks after...
