OXA-carbapenemases and mutations within PBPs in ST2 carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii: Evaluating the efficacy of cefiderocol and ampicillin-sulbactam combination therapy.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii; CRAB) isolates represent a serious public health concern. Recently, a novel molecule, the cefiderocol (FDC), has emerged as a promising therapeutic option for CRAB infections. In the present study, we analysed the genomes of five A. baumannii ST2 isolates from four hospitalized patients. All patients were treated with FDC and an...
