Popis: Plazomicin is a next-generation semisynthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic that can be used to treat infections by multi-resistant bacteria. It is effective against many bacteria-producing carbapenemases or other specific hydrolases. This scoping review aims to define the role acquired by plazomicin from its approval by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) in 2018 to the present day. Furthermore, we aim to provide a base for a future meta-analysis. This project was conducted following the recommendations presented in the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews and the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis. Among 901 potentially engaging citations, 345 duplicates were removed, and only 81 articles were selected for the analysis. According to the data analysis, plazomicin has been used to treat urinary tract infections, bloodstream infections, and ventilation-associated pneumonia. The pathogens killed included multi-resistant E. coli, K. pneumoniae, A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus. Plazomicin can be a manageable, valid non-beta-lactam alternative for treating multi-resistant bacteria infections.
