AmpC β-lactamase induction by avibactam and relebactam [PDF]
Background: Diazabicyclooctanes, e.g. avibactam and relebactam, are a new class of β-lactamase inhibitors. Their spectrum includes AmpC enzymes, but it is important to understand whether they also induce these enzymes.

The Surgical Infection Society revised guidelines on the management of intra-abdominal infection [PDF]
Background: Previous evidence-based guidelines on the management of intra-abdominal infection (IAI) were published by the Surgical Infection Society (SIS) in 1992, 2002, and 2010. At the time the most recent guideline was released, the plan was to update

In vitro activity of cefepime/zidebactam (WCK 5222) against Gram-negative bacteria [PDF]
Background: Diazabicyclooctanes (DBOs) inhibit class A, class C and some class D β-lactamases. A few also bind PBP2, conferring direct antibacterial activity and a β-lactamase-independent ‘enhancer' effect, potentiating β-lactams targeting PBP3.

Effectiveness of ceftazidime–avibactam versus colistin in treating carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae bacteremia [PDF]
Antimicrobial treatments for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) bacteremia are limited, with colistin-based regimens being a primary therapy. Ceftazidime-avibactam is an emerging treatment for various CRE infections. Our study aimed to assess ceftazidime-avibactam effectiveness compared with colistin in patients with CRE bacteremia.This ...

Activity of ceftazidime/avibactam against problem Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the UK, 2015-2016 [PDF]
Background: Ceftazidime/avibactam combines an established oxyimino-cephalosporin with the first diazabicyclooctane β-lactamase inhibitor to enter clinical use.

WCK 4234, a novel diazabicyclooctane potentiating carbapenems against Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter with class A, C and D β-lactamases [PDF]
Background: Several diazabicyclooctanes (DBOs) are under development as inhibitors of Class A and C -lactamases. Inhibition of OXA (Class D) carbapenemases is variable, with those of Acinetobacter spp. remaining notably resistant. We describe a novel DBO,

KPC-50 Confers Resistance to Ceftazidime-Avibactam Associated with Reduced Carbapenemase Activity [PDF]
KPC-50 is a KPC-3 variant identified from a Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate recovered in Switzerland in 2019. Compared to KPC-3, KPC-50 shows (i) a three-amino-acid insertion (Glu-Ala-Val) between amino acids 276 and 277, (ii) an increased affinity to ceftazidime, (iii) a decreased sensitivity to avibactam ...
