Evolution of β-lactamase-mediated cefiderocol resistance
11 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cefiderocol is a novel siderophore β-lactam with improved hydrolytic stability toward β-lactamases, including carbapenemases, achieved by combining structural moieties of two clinically efficient cephalosporins, ceftazidime and cefepime. Consequently, cefiderocol represents a treatment alternative for infections caused by MDR Gram-negatives. OBJECTIVES: To study the role of cefiderocol on resistance...
