The study demonstrated that the combination of meropenem, cefepime, or aztreonam with Nacubactam exhibited potent in vivo antimicrobial activity in a murine thigh-infection model against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales isolates. These findings suggest that these combinations are potential candidates for the treatment of CRE and/or CPE infections.
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) are difficult to treat and are a serious public health threat. Nacubactam (NAC) is a novel non- beta-lactam diazabicyclooctane beta-lactamase inhibitor with in vitro activity against some Enterobacterales expressing classes of beta-lactamases. Methods: The antimicrobial efficacy of meropenem (MEM), cefepime (FEP), and aztreonam (ATM), each in combination with NAC, were assessed in vitro and in vivo against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli . Ten isolates, including CRE and/or CPE with beta-lactamase genes, were used in this study. The relationship between phenotype and in vivo efficacy was assessed in a murine neutropenic thigh-infection model. Efficacy was determined by the change in bacterial quantity. Results: The results of the in vitro study showed the minimum inhibitory concentrations of the combination of NAC with either MEM, FEP, or ATM in a 1:1 ratio were 2 to > 128-fold lower than those of MEM, FEP, or ATM alone against CRE + isolates. In addition, combinations of beta-lactams and NAC administered in the murine thigh-infection model showed greater efficacy against CRE + /CPE + , CRE + /CPE-, and CRE/CPE + isolates harboring various beta-lactamase genes (IMP-1, IMP-6, KPC, DHA-1, or OXA-48) compared with MEM, FEP, ATM, and NAC alone. Conclusion: MEM, FEP, or ATM in combination with NAC showed potent in vivo antimicrobial activity in a murine thigh-infection model caused by K. pneumoniae and E. coli, including CRE and/or CPE isolates. These findings indicate that these combinations of beta-lactams and NAC are potential candidates for the treatment of CRE and/or CPE infections.
