Pharmacokinetics, safety and population pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics analysis of meropenem-vaborbactam in Chinese healthy participants [PDF]
BackgroundMeropenem-vaborbactam is a fixed-dose β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination active against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), especially Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing CRE.

National Cohort of Compassionate Use of Meropenem–Vaborbactam: No Benefit over Meropenem for Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Background: Meropenem–vaborbactam (MEM-VAB) is a novel carbapenem-beta-lactamase-inhibitor combination that demonstrates activity against carbapenem-resistant (CR) Gram-negative bacteria, and more specifically KPC-producers, since vaborbactam is an ...

Aminoglycosides enhance meropenem/vaborbactam activity against KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in the hollow fiber infection model [PDF]
Meropenem/vaborbactam is a preferred treatment option for KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) infections, but clinical cure rates remain suboptimal when it is used alone.
