Abstract
Antibacterial drug resistance of gram-negative bacteria (GNB) results in high morbidity and mortality of GNB infection, seriously threaten human health globally. Developing new antibiotics has become the critical need for dealing with drug-resistant bacterial infections. Cefiderocol is an iron carrier cephalosporin that achieves drug accumulation through a unique “Trojan horse” strategy into the bacterial periplasm. It shows high antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterobacteriaceae and MDR non-fermentative bacteria. The application of cefiderocol offers new hope for treating clinical drug-resistant bacterial infections. However, limited clinical data and uncertainties about its resistance mechanisms constrain the choice of its therapeutic use. This review aimed to summarize the clinical applications, drug resistance mechanisms, and co-administration of cefiderocol.
期刊介绍:
Drug Resistance Updates serves as a platform for publishing original research, commentary, and expert reviews on significant advancements in drug resistance related to infectious diseases and cancer. It encompasses diverse disciplines such as molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, pharmacology, microbiology, preclinical therapeutics, oncology, and clinical medicine. The journal addresses both basic research and clinical aspects of drug resistance, providing insights into novel drugs and strategies to overcome resistance. Original research articles are welcomed, and review articles are authored by leaders in the field by invitation.
Articles are written by leaders in the field, in response to an invitation from the Editors, and are peer-reviewed prior to publication. Articles are clear, readable, and up-to-date, suitable for a multidisciplinary readership and include schematic diagrams and other illustrations conveying the major points of the article. The goal is to highlight recent areas of growth and put them in perspective.
*Expert reviews in clinical and basic drug resistance research in oncology and infectious disease
*Describes emerging technologies and therapies, particularly those that overcome drug resistance
*Emphasises common themes in microbial and cancer research
