Ceftazidime-avibactam activity tested against Enterobacteriaceae isolates from U.S. hospitals (2011 to 2013) and characterization of β-lactamase-producing strains.
Ceftazidime-avibactam (MIC50/90, 0.12/0.25 μg/ml) inhibited 99.9% (20,698/20,709) of Enterobacteriaceae isolates at ≤8 μg/ml. This compound was active against resistant subsets, including ceftazidime-nonsusceptible Enterobacter cloacae (MIC50/90, 0.25/0.5 μg/ml) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) phenotype isolates. An ESBL phenotype was noted among 12.4% (1,696/13,692 isolates from targeted species) of the isolates, including 776 Escherichia coli (12.0% for this species; MIC50/90, 0.12/0.25 μg/ml), 721 Klebsiella pneumoniae (16.3%; MIC50/90, 0.12/0.25 μg/ml), 119 Klebsiella oxytoca (10.3%; MIC50/90, 0.06/0.25 μg/ml), and 80 Proteus mirabilis (4.9%; MIC50/90, 0.06/0.12 μg/ml) isolates. The most common enzymes detected among ESBL phenotype isolates from 2013 (n = 743) screened using a microarray-based assay were CTX-M-15-like (n = 307), KPC (n = 120), SHV ESBLs (n = 118), and CTX-M-14-like (n = 110). KPC producers were highly resistant to comparators, and ceftazidime-avibactam (MIC50/90, 0.5/2 μg/ml) and tigecycline (MIC50/90, 0.5/1 μg/ml; 98.3% susceptible) were the most active agents against these strains. Meropenem (MIC50/90, ≤0.06/≤0.06 μg/ml) and ceftazidime-avibactam (MIC50/90, 0.12/0.25 μg/ml) were active against CTX-M-producing isolates. Other enzymes were also observed, and ceftazidime-avibactam displayed good activity against the isolates producing less common enzymes. Among 11 isolates displaying ceftazidime-avibactam MIC values of >8 μg/ml, three were K. pneumoniae strains producing metallo-β-lactamases (all ceftazidime-avibactam MICs, >32 μg/ml), with two NDM-1 producers and one K. pneumoniae strain carrying the bla(KPC-2) and bla(VIM-4) genes. Therapeutic options for isolates producing β-lactamases may be limited, and ceftazidime-avibactam, which displayed good activity against strains, including those producing KPC enzymes, merits further study in infections where such organisms occur.

Activity of Ceftazidime-Avibactam against Extended-Spectrum- and AmpC β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Collected in the INFORM Global Surveillance Study from 2012 to 2014.
The in vitro activity of ceftazidime-avibactam was evaluated against 34,062 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae from patients with intra-abdominal, urinary tract, skin and soft-tissue, lower respiratory tract, and blood infections collected in the INFORM (International Network For Optimal Resistance Monitoring) global surveillance study (176 medical center laboratories in 39 countries) in 2012 to 2014. Overall, 99.5% of Enterobacteriaceae isolates were susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam using FDA approved breakpoints (susceptible MIC of ≤8 μg/ml; resistant MIC of ≥16 μg/ml). For individual species of the Enterobacteriaceae, the ceftazidime-avibactam MIC inhibiting ≥90% of isolates (MIC90) ranged from 0.06 μg/ml for Proteus species to 1 μg/ml for Enterobacter spp. and Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenem-susceptible isolates of Escherichia coli, K. pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, and Proteus mirabilis with a confirmed extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) phenotype, or a ceftazidime MIC of ≥16 μg/ml if the ESBL phenotype was not confirmed by clavulanic acid inhibition, were characterized further to identify the presence of specific ESBL- and plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase genes using a microarray-based assay and additional PCR assays. Ceftazidime-avibactam demonstrated potent activity against molecularly confirmed ESBL-producing (n = 5,354; MIC90, 0.5 μg/ml; 99.9% susceptible), plasmid-mediated AmpC-producing (n = 246; MIC90, 0.5 μg/ml; 100% susceptible), and ESBL- and AmpC-producing (n = 152; MIC90, 1 μg/ml; 100% susceptible) isolates of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, K. oxytoca, and P. mirabilis We conclude that ceftazidime-avibactam demonstrates potent in vitro activity against globally collected clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae, including isolates producing ESBLs and AmpC β-lactamases.

Low Frequency of Ceftazidime-Avibactam Resistance among Enterobacteriaceae Isolates Carrying bla(KPC) Collected in U.S. Hospitals from 2012 to 2015.
Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates have been increasingly reported worldwide, and therapeutic options to treat infections caused by these organisms are limited. We evaluated the activity of ceftazidime-avibactam and comparators against 456 Enterobacteriaceae isolates carrying blaKPC collected from 79 U.S. hospitals during 2012 to 2015. Overall, ceftazidime-avibactam (MIC50/90, 0.5/2 μg/ml; 99.3% susceptible) and tigecycline (MIC50/90, 0.5/1 μg/ml; 98.9% susceptible at ≤2 μg/ml) were the most active agents. Only 80.5% and 59.0% of isolates were susceptible to colistin and amikacin, respectively. All three isolates (0.7%) displaying resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam (K. pneumoniae; MICs, ≥16 μg/ml) were evaluated using whole-genome sequencing analysis and relative quantification of expression levels of porins and efflux pump. Two isolates carried metallo-β-lactamase genes, blaNDM-1 or blaVIM-4, among other β-lactam resistance mechanisms, and one displayed a premature stop codon in ompK35 and decreased expression of ompK36 Ceftazidime-avibactam was active against 100.0 and 99.3% of isolates carrying blaKPC-3 (n = 221) and blaKPC-2 (n = 145), respectively. Isolates carrying blaKPC were more commonly recovered from pneumonia (n = 155), urinary tract (n = 93), and skin/soft tissue (n = 74) infections. Ceftazidime-avibactam (97.8 to 100.0% susceptible) was consistently active against isolates from all infection sites. K. pneumoniae (83.3% of the collection) susceptibility rates were 99.2% for ceftazidime-avibactam, 98.9% for tigecycline, and 80.1% for colistin. Ceftazidime-avibactam susceptibility did not vary substantially when comparing isolates from intensive care unit (ICU) patients to those from non-ICU patients. Ceftazidime-avibactam was active against this large collection of isolates carrying blaKPC and represents a valuable addition to the armamentarium currently available for the treatment of infections caused by KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae.
