Abstract
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria represent a challenging healthcare threat, accounting for metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) production increase across the world. MBL-producing Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa represent the main target for ultimate antibiotics combinations due to the difficulty to include carbapenems within the antimicrobial treatment.
Objectives: To provide a comprehensive review of the current knowledge about the aztreonam/avibactam (ATM-AVI) combination, which has emerged as a promising option for treating MBL-producing bacteria. Sources Relevant in vitro and in vivo studies on ATM-AVI effectiveness.
Content: The review summarizes ATM-AVI characteristics and targets, examining how avibactam restores aztreonam effectiveness against MBLs while protecting it from other β-lactamases. Key in vitro and in vivo studies on ATM-AVI efficacy are presented.
Implications: This review provides insights into the potential clinical management implications of ATM-AVI for treating carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative infections, particularly those caused by MBL-producing organisms.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Microbiology and Infection (CMI) is a monthly journal published by the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. It focuses on peer-reviewed papers covering basic and applied research in microbiology, infectious diseases, virology, parasitology, immunology, and epidemiology as they relate to therapy and diagnostics.
