OXA-carbapenemases and mutations within PBPs in ST2 carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii: Evaluating the efficacy of cefiderocol and ampicillin-sulbactam combination therapy [PDF]
Objectives: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii; CRAB) isolates represent a serious public health concern. Recently, a novel molecule, the cefiderocol (FDC), has emerged as a promising therapeutic option for CRAB infections. In the

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lower respiratory tract, commonly caused by infection and associated with substantial morbidity and healthcare utilization. The burden of pneumonia on healthcare is exacerbated by limited data on pathogenic causes and associated antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Here, we conducted

Cefiderocol use for the treatment of infections by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria: an Italian multicentre real-life experience [PDF]
Background: Cefiderocol is a novel siderophore cephalosporin with promising activity against most carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CRGNB). However, extensive postmarketing experiences are lacking.

Antibiotic Resistance: A Genetic and Physiological Perspective
The development of resistance to antimicrobials and their historical progression are depicted in this graphic. It draws attention to important biochemical, physiological, and genetic factors that contribute to AMR, such as the transmission of genes, the development of biofilms, and the inactivation of antibiotics.
