Abstrakt: Objectives: Complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) are frequently encountered in hospitals and ICUs. Increasingly, the causative pathogens harbour enzymatic resistance mechanisms. Taniborbactam is a novel β-lactamase inhibitor with activity against Ambler class A, B, C and D β-lactamases. Herein, we assessed the efficacy of cefepime alone and the combination cefepime/taniborbactam in a neutropenic murine cUTI model.
Methods: Eighteen cefepime-resistant clinical isolates (9 Enterobacterales, 3 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 6 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia; cefepime MIC = 32 to >512 mg/L) were assessed. Cefepime/taniborbactam MICs ranged from 0.06 to 128 mg/L. Human-simulated plasma regimens (HSRs) of cefepime alone and in combination with taniborbactam were developed in the murine cUTI model. The efficacy of cefepime HSR and cefepime/taniborbactam HSR was determined as the change in log10 cfu/kidney at 48 h compared with 48 h controls.
Results: Mean ± SD initial bacterial burden was 5.66 ± 0.56 log10 cfu/kidney, which increased to 9.05 ± 0.39 log10 cfu/kidney at 48 h. The cefepime HSR was ineffective, as bacterial burden was similar to untreated controls (-0.14 ± 0.40 change in log10 cfu/kidney). In contrast, cefepime/taniborbactam exhibited substantial killing, with log10 cfu/kidney changes of -5.48 ± 1.3, -4.79 ± 0.3 and -5.04 ± 0.7 for ESBL/AmpC-, KPC- and OXA-48-harbouring Enterobacterales, respectively. Cefepime/taniborbactam also exhibited robust killing of P. aeruginosa (-6.5 ± 0.26) and S. maltophilia (-5.66 ± 0.71).
Conclusions: Humanized exposures of cefepime/taniborbactam achieved robust killing of Enterobacterales, P. aeruginosa and S. maltophilia harbouring ESBL, AmpC, KPC and/or OXA-48. These data support the role of cefepime/taniborbactam for cUTI treatment for cefepime/taniborbactam MICs up to 32 mg/L.
