Popis: Due to the increasing resistance of aerobic and facultative anaerobic Gram-negative rods, ceftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam have been launched in the market in the last few years. In this study, we analyzed the susceptibility pattern of the major aerobic and facultative anaerobic Gram-negative rods in Hong Kong for ceftazidime-avibactam, ceftolozane-tazobactam, four other broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used in Hong Kong and colistin. For 300 isolates collected from January to December 2021, non-ESBL-producing Enterobacterales, ESBL-producing Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were highly susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam (all 100%) and ceftolozane-tazobactam (98.7%, 99.7% and 94.3%). For 32 archived ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates collected between January 2014 and March 2023, all were susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam. For 101 archived carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales, their susceptibilities to ceftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam varied depending on the type of carbapenemase produced. Both had high activities against OXA-producing strains (97.1% and 76.5%, respectively) but were 100% resistant for NDM-producing and NDM+OXA-producing strains. All KPC-producing strains were susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam but resistant to ceftolozane-tazobactam. Ceftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam are good alternatives for the management of infections caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacterales and selective strains of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in Hong Kong.
