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.

Boronic Acid Inhibitors of β‐Lactamases: A Promising Strategy Against Antimicrobial Resistance

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical threat to global health, mostly due to the proliferation of β‐lactamases, a class of enzymes responsible for the inactivation of β‐lactam antibiotics. Among the most promising strategies to restore β‐lactam efficacy is the use of β‐lactamase inhibitors (BLIs), with boronic acid ...

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,

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.

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 ...

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.

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.
