Cefiderocol “under siege”? Understanding the rise of NDM-mediated resistance to novel agents
1 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
The global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) underscores the critical need for the rapid development of new drugs. Particularly alarming is the surge in metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) - broad spectrum enzymes able to inactivate penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems. Cefiderocol (FDC), a siderophore-containing cephalosporin, was initially reported as resistant to MBL hydrolysis. Indeed, FDC has been...
