In vitro-obtained meropenem-vaborbactam resistance mechanisms among clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae isolates

Abstract excerpt

A novel ß-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitor (BLBI), meropenem (MEM), combined with the boronate-based inhibitor vaborbactam (VAB), has recently been introduced for the treatment of infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacterales. The purpose of this study was to select for MEM-VAB resistance using a collection of eight KPC-producing K. pneumoniae clinical isolates, including...
