Abstract
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of cefiderocol (CFDC) in the treatment of Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) infections.
Methods: Relevant studies were collected from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Embase databases, from inception to 15 October 2023. The search formula was as follow: "cefiderocol", "S-649266", "Gram-Negative Bacteria", "Gram Negative Bacteria", "Klebsiella pneumoniae", "Hyalococcus pneumoniae", and "Bacterium pneumoniae proposal". Stata 15.0 software was employed to pool data with risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Data were pooled using a random- or a fixed-effects model.
Results: After a comprehensive study selection, 11 studies (5 RCTs and 7 observational studies) were retrieved that compared the efficacy of CFDC with other regimens, e.g., imipenem/cilastatin. The clinical response (RR = 1.00, 95% CI 0.94-1.08, I2 = 0%) and microbiological response (RR = 0.95 95% CI = 0.80-1.14, I2 = 68.7%) of CFDC were comparable to the control group. No significant differences were observed in mortality and adverse events. Furthermore, subgroup analyses showed that CFDC enhanced microbiological eradication in the follow-up group (RR = 1.25, 95% CI 1.05-1.49) and patients with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) (RR = 1.32, 95% CI 1.11- 1.57).
Conclusions: CFDC is a novel iron-carrying cephalosporin with the potential to effectively combat Gram-negative bacterial infections. Additional large and high-quality RCTs are required to further confirm the safety of CFDC.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries (JIDC) is an international journal, intended for the publication of scientific articles from Developing Countries by scientists from Developing Countries.
JIDC is an independent, on-line publication with an international editorial board. JIDC is open access with no cost to view or download articles and reasonable cost for publication of research artcles, making JIDC easily availiable to scientists from resource restricted regions.
