Invasive aspergillosis (IA) due to Aspergillus fumigatus is a deadly infection for which new antifungal therapies are needed. Here we demonstrate the efficacy of a Gwt1 inhibitor, APX2041, and its prodrug, APX2104, against A. fumigatus . The wild-type, azole-resistant and echinocandin-resistant A. fumigatus strains were equally susceptible to APX2041 in vitro . APX2104 treatment in vivo significantly prolonged survival of neutropenic mice challenged with the wild-type and azole-resistant strains, revealing APX2104 as a potentially promising therapeutic against IA.

Abstract Background The activity of imipenem/relebactam (I/R), ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) and cefiderocol (FDC) were evaluated against clinical isolates of multidrug resistant (MDR) strains of P. aeruginosa which was resistant to ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T). The recent increase of MDR P. aeruginosa strains isolated from clinical samples has prompted research and development of new antimicrobials that can withstand its multiple resistance mechanisms. C/T is an effective option for treatment of MDR P. aeruginosa in our facility with only 10% of resistance in MDR strains, but the emergence of resistance may occur due to the presence of a carbapenemase gene or an ampC mutation. Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing for C/T Etest® (bioMérieux, Inc.) were performed on all MDR strains initially screened by the VITEK2® (bioMérieux, Inc.). 10% (n=20) of all MDR isolates were resistant to C/T by the CLSI 2019 breakpoints. These resistant isolates were tested for presence of a carbapenemase gene using the GeneXpert CARBA-R (Cepheid®) PCR and against CZA Etest® (bioMérieux, Inc.) I/R gradient strips (Liofilchem®) and FDC broth microdilution (Thermo Scientific™ Sensititre™). Results A total of 20 clinical isolates of MDR P. aeruginosa resistant to C/T were tested following standardized CLSI protocols and techniques. All 20 isolates were screened for the presence of a carbapenemase gene (blaVIM, blaNDM, blaKPC, blaOXA-48, blaIMP). A blaVIM gene was detected in 6 (30%) out of 20 isolates. FDC demonstrated the greatest activity with 85% (n=17) of susceptible isolates (CLSI MIC <4µg/dL). CZA (CLSI MIC <8µg/dL) and I/R (FDA MIC <2µg/dL) showed 15% (n=3) and 10% (n=2) of susceptible isolates respectively. FDC was active against all 6 blaVIM isolates, where all 6 strains were resistant to CZA and I/R as expected. 3 isolates tested non-susceptible against FDC; additional characterization was not performed at this time. Conclusion Based on these results, FDC demonstrated the greatest in-vitro activity against C/T resistant strains of MDR P. aeruginosa. FDC also demonstrated activity against all 6 MDR P. aeruginosa carrying blaVIM gene. FDC is a strong option to consider on MDR P. aeruginosa strains based on a resistance testing algorithm and a cost/effective protocol. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Abstract Background VNRX-5133 is a novel cyclic boronate-based broad-spectrum β-lactamase inhibitor with potent and selective direct inhibitory activity against both serine- and metallo-β-lactamases (Ambler Classes A, B, C, and D). In this analysis, we evaluated the activity of cefepime (FEP) in combination with VNRX-5133 and comparators against 1,120 recent Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates, including carbapenem-resistant strains. Methods MICs of FEP with VNRX-5133 fixed at 4 µg/mL (FEP/VNRX-5133) were determined following CLSI M07-A10 guidelines against 1,120 Enterobacteriaceae from community and hospital infections collected globally in 2012–2013. Resistant phenotypes were based on 2017 CLSI breakpoints. As FEP/VNRX-5133 breakpoints have not yet been established, the FEP 2 g q8h susceptible dose-dependent (SDD) breakpoint of ≤8 µg/mL was considered for comparative purposes. Results FEP/VNRX-5133 showed potent in vitro activity against drug-resistant subsets of Enterobacteriaceae, with MIC90 values ranging from 1 µg/mL against ceftazidime-, levofloxacin-, or piperacillin–tazobactam-nonsusceptible isolates, to 8 µg/mL against meropenem-nonsusceptible isolates. FEP/VNRX-5133 inhibited >93% of all resistant subsets at ≤8 µg/mL. Conclusion Cefepime in combination with VNRX-5133 demonstrated potent in vitro activity against Enterobacteriaceae, including cephalosporin-, fluoroquinolone- and carbapenem-resistant (CRE) isolates. Because this drug combination exhibited substantial potential for the treatment of infections caused by isolates often resistant to first-line therapy, further development is warranted.

This study investigates GT-1 (also known as LCB10-0200), a novel-siderophore cephalosporin, inhibited multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative pathogen, via a Trojan horse strategy exploiting iron-uptake systems. We investigated GT-1 activity and the role of siderophore uptake systems, and the combination of GT-1 and a non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) of diazabicyclooctane, GT-055, (also referred to as LCB18-055) against molecularly characterised resistant Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter spp. isolates. GT-1 and GT-1/GT-055 were tested in vitro against comparators among three different characterised panel strain sets. Bacterial resistome and siderophore uptake systems were characterised to elucidate the genetic basis for GT-1 minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). GT-1 exhibited in vitro activity (≤2 μg/mL MICs) against many MDR isolates, including extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)- and carbapenemase-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae and oxacillinase (OXA)-producing Acinetobacter spp. GT-1 also inhibited strains with mutated siderophore transporters and porins. Although BLI GT-055 exhibited intrinsic activity (MIC 2–8 μg/mL) against most E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates, GT-055 enhanced the activity of GT-1 against many GT-1–resistant strains. Compared with CAZ-AVI, GT-1/GT-055 exhibited lower MICs against E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates. GT-1 demonstrated potent in vitro activity against clinical panel strains of E. coli, K. pneumoniae and Acinetobacter spp. GT-055 enhanced the in vitro activity of GT-1 against many GT-1–resistant strains.

The comparative in vitro activity of RU 64004 (also known as HMR 3004), a new ketolide antibiotic, was tested by agar dilution against approximately 500 gram-positive organisms, including multiply resistant enterococci, streptococci, and staphylococci. All streptococci were inhibited by < or = 1 microg of RU 64004 per ml. The ketolide was more potent than other macrolides against erythromycin A-susceptible staphylococci and was generally more potent than clindamycin against erythromycin A-resistant strains susceptible to this agent. Clindamycin-resistant staphylococci (MIC, > 128 microg/ml) proved resistant to the ketolide, but some erythromycin A- and clindamycin-resistant enterococci remained susceptible to RU 64004.

ABSTRACT The efficacy of BB-83698, a novel potent peptide deformylase inhibitor, was evaluated in a mouse model of acute pneumonia. The Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates tested included four virulent strains (one penicillin-susceptible wild-type strain, one macrolide-resistant strain, and two quinolone-resistant mutants [a mutant carrying mutations in ParC and GyrA and an efflux mutant] isogenic to the wild type) and two poorly virulent penicillin-resistant strains. Pneumonia was induced by intratracheal inoculation of 105 CFU (virulent strains) into immunocompetent mice or 107 CFU (less virulent strains) into leukopenic mice. Animals received three or six subcutaneous injections of antibiotics at 12- or 24-h intervals, with antibiotic treatment initiated at 3, 6, 12, or 18 h postinfection (p.i.). BB-83698 showed potent in vitro activity against all strains (MICs, 0.06 to 0.25 μg/ml). In the in vivo model, all control animals died within 2 to 5 days of infection. BB-83698 (80 mg/kg of body weight twice daily or 160 mg/kg once daily) protected 70 to 100% of the animals, as measured 10 days p.i., regardless of the preexisting resistance mechanisms. In contrast, the survival rates for animals treated with the comparator antibiotics were 30% for animals treated with erythromycin (100 mg/kg) and infected with the macrolide-resistant strain, 34% for animals treated with amoxicillin (200 mg/kg every 8 h) and infected with the penicillin-resistant strain, and 0 and 78% for animals treated with ciprofloxacin (250 mg/kg) and infected with the ParC and GyrA mutant and the efflux mutant, respectively. At 80 mg/kg, BB-83698 generated a peak concentration in lung tissue of 61.9 μg/ml within 1 h and areas under the concentration-times curves of 57.4 and 229.4 μg · h/ml for plasma and lung tissue, respectively. The emergence of S. pneumoniae isolates with reduced susceptibilities to BB-83698 was not observed following treatment with a suboptimal dosing regimen. In conclusion, the potent in vitro activity of BB-83698 against S. pneumoniae, including resistant strains, translates into good in vivo efficacy in a mouse pneumonia model.
