ABSTRACT We tested the activities of ceftolozane-tazobactam and 13 other antimicrobial agents against 221 strains of Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli. Most strains (82%) were cultured from persons with cystic fibrosis, and most (85%) were recovered since 2011. The ceftolozane-tazobactam MIC was ≤8 μg/ml for 77% of the strains. However, the MIC range was broad (≤0.5 to >64 μg/ml; MIC50/90, 2/32 μg/ml). Significant differences in susceptibility to some antimicrobial agents were observed between species.

ABSTRACT Doripenem 50% inhibitory concentrations (MIC50) and 90% inhibitory concentrations (MIC90) for multidrug-resistant strains of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 200 strains), nonmucoid P. aeruginosa (n = 200), and Burkholderia cepacia complex (n = 200) isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis were 8 and 32, 8 and 64, and 8 and 32 μg/ml, respectively. Doripenem had somewhat better activity than established antimicrobial agents.

Abstract Background Murepavadin, a novel peptidomimetic antibiotic, is being developed as an inhalation therapy for treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa respiratory infection in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). It blocks the activity of the LptD protein in P. aeruginosa causing outer membrane alterations. Objectives To determine the in vitro activity of murepavadin against CF P. aeruginosa isolates and to investigate potential mechanisms of resistance. Methods MIC values were determined by both broth microdilution and agar dilution and results compared. The effect of artificial sputum and lung surfactant on in vitro activity was also measured. Spontaneous mutation frequency was estimated. Bactericidal activity was investigated using time–kill assays. Resistant mutants were studied by WGS. Results The murepavadin MIC50 was 0.125 versus 4 mg/L and the MIC90 was 2 versus 32 mg/L by broth microdilution and agar dilution, respectively. Essential agreement was >90% when determining in vitro activity with artificial sputum or lung surfactant. It was bactericidal at a concentration of 32 mg/L against 95.4% of the strains within 1–5 h. Murepavadin MICs were 2–9 two-fold dilutions higher for the mutant derivatives (0.5 to >16 mg/L) than for the parental strains. Second-step mutants were obtained for the PAO mutS reference strain with an 8×MIC increase. WGS showed mutations in genes involved in LPS biosynthesis (lpxL1, lpxL2, bamA2, lptD, lpxT and msbA). Conclusions Murepavadin characteristics, such as its specific activity against P. aeruginosa, its unique mechanism of action and its strong antimicrobial activity, encourage the further clinical evaluation of this drug.
