Abstract

Purpose: The emergence of multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates poses a challenge to healthcare systems worldwide. Rising numbers in deaths, duration of hospitalization as well as failing treatments prove the hazards posed by these pathogens. This and the lack of promising therapeutic options highlight the urgency of antibiotic drug development. As interim solution or alternative to the development of new antibiotic drugs, investigation of novel combinations of existing antibiotic drugs can be an economic and swift approach. Therefore, this study addresses the evaluation of in vitro activity of the antibiotic combination of ceftazidime-avibactam/aztreonam against MBL-producing P. aeruginosa strains.

Methods: We tested 153 isolates from six university hospitals via microdilution against their susceptibility to meropenem, aztreonam, ceftazime-avibactam and the minimal inhibitory concentration of the combination of ceftazidime-avibactam/aztreonam. 64 isolates produced carbapenemases of which 61 were VIM-, 2 NDM- and 1 OXA-producer.

Results: We were able to show that the synergetic effects of this regimen with an avibactam concentration of 4 mg/l and an aztreonam concentration of 16 mg/l could successfully lower the number of MBL-producing isolates that showed a high minimal inhibitory concentration compared to a carbapenemase-negative control group in vitro.

Conclusion: The antibiotic combination consisting of ceftazidime-avibactam/aztreonam represents a possible approach to the treatment of patients infected with multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates.

头孢唑肟-阿维巴坦/阿曲霉素复方制剂对产 MBL 铜绿假单胞菌菌株的体外活性。

目的：多重耐药铜绿假单胞菌分离株的出现给全球医疗保健系统带来了挑战。不断增加的死亡人数、住院时间以及治疗失败证明了这些病原体带来的危害。这种情况以及缺乏有前景的治疗方案凸显了抗生素药物开发的紧迫性。作为开发新抗生素药物的临时解决方案或替代方案，研究现有抗生素药物的新型组合是一种既经济又迅速的方法。因此，本研究评估了头孢唑肟-阿维巴坦/阿曲南联用抗生素对产生 MBL 的铜绿假单胞菌株的体外活性：我们通过微量稀释法检测了来自 6 所大学医院的 153 株分离菌株对美罗培南、阿茨氯铵、头孢他啶-阿维菌素以及头孢他啶-阿维菌素/阿茨氯铵复方制剂最小抑菌浓度的敏感性。64株分离菌产生碳青霉烯酶，其中61株产生VIM酶，2株产生NDM酶，1株产生OXA酶：结果：我们能够证明，与碳青霉烯酶阴性对照组相比，阿维菌素浓度为 4 毫克/升、阿曲南浓度为 16 毫克/升的这一治疗方案的协同作用能够成功地降低产生 MBL 的分离株的数量，这些分离株显示出较高的最小抑菌浓度：由头孢唑肟-阿维菌素/阿曲霉素组成的抗生素组合是治疗感染多重耐药铜绿假单胞菌的患者的一种可行方法。

期刊介绍： Infection is a journal dedicated to serving as a global forum for the presentation and discussion of clinically relevant information on infectious diseases. Its primary goal is to engage readers and contributors from various regions around the world in the exchange of knowledge about the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases, both in outpatient and inpatient settings. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including: Etiology: The study of the causes of infectious diseases. Pathogenesis: The process by which an infectious agent causes disease. Diagnosis: The methods and techniques used to identify infectious diseases. Treatment: The medical interventions and strategies employed to treat infectious diseases. Public Health: Issues of local, regional, or international significance related to infectious diseases, including prevention, control, and management strategies. Hospital Epidemiology: The study of the spread of infectious diseases within healthcare settings and the measures to prevent nosocomial infections. In addition to these, Infection also includes a specialized "Images" section, which focuses on high-quality visual content, such as images, photographs, and microscopic slides, accompanied by brief abstracts. This section is designed to highlight the clinical and diagnostic value of visual aids in the field of infectious diseases, as many conditions present with characteristic clinical signs that can be diagnosed through inspection, and imaging and microscopy are crucial for accurate diagnosis. The journal's comprehensive approach ensures that it remains a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and researchers in the field of infectious diseases.
