Pseudomonas aeruginosa antibiotic susceptibility profiles, genomic epidemiology and resistance mechanisms: a nation-wide five-year time lapse analysis [PDF]
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa healthcare-associated infections are one of the top antimicrobial resistance threats world-wide. In order to analyze the current trends, we performed a Spanish nation-wide high-resolution analysis of the susceptibility ...

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,

Y-site Administration of Imipenem/Cilastatin/Relebactam With Common Intravenous Medications [PDF]
Imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam has shown efficacy in complicated intra-abdominal and urinary tract infections in the RESTORE IMI-1 study, and it was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. A press release announced that another Phase III study (RESTORE IMI-2) in patients with hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia has ...

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.

Global shortage of neonatal and paediatric antibiotic trials: rapid review. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: There have been few clinical trials (CTs) on antibiotics that inform neonatal and paediatric drug labelling. The rate of unlicensed and off-label prescribing in paediatrics remains high.
