In vitro activity of cefiderocol, a siderophore cephalosporin, against carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in China
28 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin that binds ferric iron and utilizes iron transporters to cross the cell membrane. Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is known to produce more siderophores; in this case, the uptake of cefiderocol may be decreased. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of cefiderocol against hvKp isolates. A total of 320...
