The acquisition of transferable extrachromosomal fec operon is associated with a cefiderocol MIC increase in Enterobacterales
28 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cefiderocol is a novel siderophore cephalosporin active against MDR Gram-negative bacilli, including MBL-harbouring Enterobacterales. The detection of multiple cefiderocol-resistant blaVIM-carrying Enterobacterales isolates (MIC = 4 mg/L) from a single patient suggested an additional, potentially transferable, resistance determinant as blaVIM typically does not elevate cefiderocol MIC above the...
