Abstract excerpt
Cefiderocol is a novel siderophore-conjugated cephalosporin that is very promising for the treatment of infections caused by MDR bacteria. Its main advantages reside in its stability against MBLs for which no other commercially β-lactam can be used to date, and its uptake using the bacterial iron transport system in addition of porins.1 However, its first clinical uses also revealed acquired resistance mechanisms...
