Background: Cefoperazone Sulbactam injection is a cephalosporin antibiotic with a β- lactamase inhibitor used in the treatment for intra abdominal infections, Urinary track infections, surgical infections, etc. The combination is not official in any of the pharmacopeia for their content and impurities determination. Introduction: The present study involves the development of a simple, rapid, accurate, sensitive and stability indicating RP-HPLC method for the quantitative estimation of Cefoperazone Sulbactam mixture and its impurities in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Methods: 0.005 M Tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide buffer solution pH adjusted to 6.80 and Acetonitrile combination has been used in a gradient programme with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The retention time of Cefoperazone and Sulbactam were observed at around 8.5 and 19.5 minutes respectively. The UV detection was carried out at a wavelength of 230 nm. The chromatographic separation was achieved using Waters xbridge C18-150*4.6 mm, 3.5 µm HPLC column. The method has been validated according to the current International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines for the method validation parameters such as Specificity, linearity, range, accuracy, precision, robustness and sensitivity. Results: The validation results indicate that the method is specific, as the known impurities and other impurities formed during the forced degradation studies were not co-eluting with the main components. Moreover, all these impurities were found to be spectrally pure, proving the stability indicating power of the method. The linearity and range of the method is in the range of 0.01-150%, highly accurate (100.2%), precise (<1%) and robust. Conclusion: The proposed method was accurate and specific for the quantitative analysis of Cefoperazone and Sulbactam and their related impurities in the sterile mixture. Hence the proposed method can be used for the quantification of impurities in routine as well as stability analysis in the development as well as quality control laboratories.

Abstract Background Meropenem-vaborbactam (MVB) was recently approved in Europe for the treatment of complicated UTIs, including acute pyelonephritis, complicated intra-abdominal infections, hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and bacteremia. KPC-producing Enterobacterales (ENT) isolates have disseminated worldwide. We analysed the activity of MVB and single-agent comparators against 6,846 ENT isolates from patients hospitalised with pneumonia (PHP) including VAP in European hospitals (2014–2019). Methods Among 6,846 ENT clinical isolates from PHP collected in 40 European hospitals located in 20 countries that were susceptibility (S) tested using reference broth microdilution methods. Of the carbapenem-resistant isolates submitted to whole genome sequencing, 75 carried blaKPC. ENT isolates were also characterized for an extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) phenotype as described (CLSI, 2020). EUCAST (2020) interpretive criteria were used. %S from patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), ICU patients with VAP, and non-ICU isolates were also analysed. Results The most common ENT pathogens isolated from PHP were Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN; n=1,877) and Escherichia coli (EC; n=1,646). The %S of MVB and comparators to ENT, ICU, ICU/VAP, and non-ICU are shown in the table. Overall, 98.2% of ENT were S to MVB. For 3,218 ENT isolates from ICU patients, MVB %S was 96.6% and for 2,627 non-ICU isolates MVB %S was 98.5%. The %S of comparators for ICU vs non-ICU isolates were similar, except for levofloxacin. 29 KPC-producing isolates were from ICU (11 from VAP), 46 were from non-ICU. Most KPC-producing isolates were KPN (n=71; 54 blaKPC-3, 16 blaKPC-2 and 1 blaKPC-12). 4 EC contained blaKPC-3. KPC were from 7 countries, Italy had the highest number of KPC-producing isolates at 42 (56%). MVB inhibited 100% of KPC-producing isolates. Amikacin was the most active comparator against all ENT (94.2%S); colistin was the most active comparator against KPC-producing isolates (79.7%S). Conclusion These results demonstrate MVB has potent activity against ENT isolates from PHP including those producing KPC enzymes and suggest MVB is a useful treatment option for ICU and non-ICU PHP including VAP.
