Treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria:Report of the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy/Healthcare Infection Society/British Infection Association Joint Working Party [PDF]
The Working Party makes more than 100 tabulated recommendations in antimicrobial prescribing for the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) and suggest further research, and algorithms for hospital and ...

ABSTRACT Nacubactam is a β‐lactamase inhibitor. Early‐phase studies with 1000/2000/4000/8000 mg nacubactam monotherapy were not powered to assess proarrhythmic risk. Therefore, this analysis pooled electrocardiogram data from two placebo‐controlled studies to quantify potential effects of nacubactam on cardiac repolarization.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Multidrug Resistance (MDR): Overview of Current Approaches, Consortia and Intellectual Property Issues [PDF]
The supply of new diagnostics and treatments is insufficient to keep up with the increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and multidrug resistance (MDR) as older medicines are used more widely and microbes develop resistance to them.

Combining enhanced permeability strategies with (2‐pyridyl)methylene substitution in the sulbactam scaffold led to a novel β‐lactamase inhibitor to combat β‐lactamase‐mediated resistance to β‐lactam antibiotics. The studies presented highlight the potential of compound 3 as a next‐generation β‐lactamase inhibitor for combating infections caused by ...

New Antibiotics for the Treatment of Nosocomial Central Nervous System Infections
Nosocomial central nervous system (CNS) infections with carbapenem- and colistin-resistant Gram-negative and vancomycin-resistant Gram-positive bacteria are an increasing therapeutic challenge. Here, we review pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data and

Activity of OP0595-β-lactam combination against Gram-negative bacteria with extended-spectrum, AmpC and carbapenem-hydrolysing β-lactama [PDF]
Background: OP0595 is a diazabicyclooctane that (i) acts as a PBP2-ctive antibacterial, (ii) inhibits Class A and C β-lactamases and (iii), like mecillinam, gives β-lactamase-independent potentiation of β-lactams targeting other PBPs.

Evaluation of FilmArray Multiplex PCR Test Results in Bloodstream Infections in Oncological Patients
In this study conducted at an oncology hospital, BCID2 panel results for the rapid identification of microorganisms and resistance genes in positive blood culture samples were compared with conventional culture methods. The BCID2 panel provided faster results and showed a high correlation with traditional methods.

Lung penetration, bronchopulmonary pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile and safety of 3 g of ceftolozane/tazobactam administered to ventilated, critically ill patients with pneumonia [PDF]
Objectives: Ceftolozane/tazobactam is approved for hospital-acquired/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia at double the dose (i.e. 2 g/1 g) recommended for other indications.
