Abstrakt: Third-generation cephalosporin resistance among Enterobacteriaceae , mediated by the spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), is a very serious medical concern with limited therapeutic options. Enmetazobactam (formerly AAI101) is a novel penicillanic sulfone β-lactamase inhibitor active against a wide range of ESBLs. The combination of enmetazobactam and cefepime has entered phase 3 development in patients with complicated urinary tract infections. Using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M23 tier 2 study design, broth microdilution MIC and disk diffusion quality control (QC) ranges were determined for cefepime-enmetazobactam. Enmetazobactam was tested at a fixed concentration of 8 μg/ml in the MIC assay, and a cefepime-enmetazobactam disk mass of 30/20 μg was used in the disk diffusion assay. Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, E. coli ATCC 35218, E. coli NCTC 13353, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 700603, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 were chosen as reference strains. The CTX-M-15-producing E. coli NCTC 13353 isolate is recommended for routine testing to control for inhibition of ESBL activity by enmetazobactam. Broth microdilution MIC QC ranges spanned 3 to 4 doubling dilutions and contained 99.6% to 100.0% of obtained MIC values for the five reference strains. Disk diffusion yielded inhibition zone diameter QC ranges that spanned 7 mm and encompassed 97.1% to 100.0% of the obtained values. Quality control ranges were approved by the CLSI in 2017 (broth microdilution MIC) and 2019 (disk diffusion). The established QC ranges will ensure that appropriate assay performance criteria are attained using CLSI reference methodology when determining the susceptibility of clinical isolates to cefepime-enmetazobactam.
