In vitro activity of new combinations of β-lactam and β-lactamase inhibitors against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
As meropenem-clavulanic acid is recommended for the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis, the repurposing of new carbapenem combinations may provide new treatment options, including oral alternatives.

QPX7728, An Ultra-Broad-Spectrum B-Lactamase Inhibitor for Intravenous and Oral Therapy: Overview of Biochemical and Microbiological Characteristics

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
QPX7728 is a novel β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) that belongs to a class of cyclic boronates. The first member of this class, vaborbactam, is a BLI in the recently approved Vabomere (meropenem-vaborbactam).

New evidence in severe pneumonia: meropenem-vaborbactam

Revista Española de Quimioterapia, 2022
The appearance and spread of new mechanisms of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a serious health problem. One of the most difficult resistance mechanisms to treat is the production of carbapenemases. Carbapenemase KPC is one of those mechanisms with few therapeutic options.

Ceftazidime/Avibactam, Meropenem/Vaborbactam, or Both? Clinical and Formulary Considerations [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2018
Ceftazidime/avibactam and meropenem/vaborbactam are changing the management of invasive infections due to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), leading to higher rates of clinical cure, decreased mortality, and decreased rates of acute kidney injury compared with colistin-based regimens.

Targeting protein–protein interactions with reversible covalent modalities: Non‐cysteine chemistries

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are central to diverse cellular functions, and represent a rapidly expanding class of therapeutic targets. Advancements in covalent drug design have enabled small‐molecule drugs to overcome challenges associated with engaging these targets, such as limited durations of action and difficult‐to‐drug (expansive,

Structural Basis and Binding Kinetics of Vaborbactam in Class A β-Lactamase Inhibition [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2020
Class A β-lactamases are a major cause of β-lactam resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. The recently FDA-approved cyclic boronate vaborbactam is a reversible covalent inhibitor of class A β-lactamases, including CTX-M extended-spectrum β-lactamase and KPC carbapenemase, both frequently observed in the clinic.

ARC in Critical Ill OLT Recipients: True Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Impact on Early Aggressive PK/PD Target Non‐Attainment of CI Beta‐Lactam Therapy for Posttransplant Gram‐Negative Infections

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Augmented renal clearance (ARC) represents a quite prevalent condition among critical orthotopic liver transplant recipients (23.2%). ARC is associated with different demographics and clinical features and significantly affects the attainment of aggressive beta‐lactams pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic targets despite the administration of standard ...

Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Adequacy of Novel β-Lactam/β-Lactamase Inhibitors against Gram-Negative Bacterial in Critically Ill Patients

Antibiotics, 2021
The optimal regimens of novel β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors (BLBLIs), ceftazidime/avibactam, ceftolozane/tazobactam, and meropenem/vaborbactam, are not well defined in critically ill patients.

Successful Rapid Desensitization to Ceftazidime/Avibactam in a Patient With Cystic Fibrosis and Multidrug‐Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pneumonia: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ‐AVI) is an important therapeutic option for multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections; however, hypersensitivity reactions may preclude its use and create significant therapeutic challenges. We report a 21‐year‐old woman with cystic fibrosis and recurrent MDR P.
