1057. Tebipenem In vitro Activity Against a Collection of Pathogens Responsible for Urinary Tract Infections in the US
Abstract
Abstract Background Enterobacterales (ENT)—especially Escherichia coli (EC), Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN), and Proteus mirabilis (PM)—are widely implicated in urinary tract infections (UTIs). Many oral agents are used to manage UTIs, but their usefulness has been compromised by the increased prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and presence of co-resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) and quinolones. Tebipenem (TBP) is an oral carbapenem in clinical development for treating complicated UTIs and acute pyelonephritis. This study assessed the in vitro activity of TBP and comparator agents against ENT responsible for UTIs in the US during 2019-2020. Methods A total of 3,576 ENT recovered from urine samples during the 2019-2020 STEWARD Surveillance Program were included in the study. Isolates were collected from medical centers in all 9 US Census Regions and were centrally tested for susceptibility by reference broth microdilution method. MIC interpretation was performed based on CLSI criteria. Results EC comprised 65.6% of all ENT pathogens, followed by KPN (14.3%), PM (6.6%), and other species (13.7%). TBP (MIC90, 0.015-0.06 mg/L) and ertapenem (ERT; MIC90, 0.03 mg/L) showed similar MIC90 results against ENT, EC, and KPN (Table). Ceftazidime (CAZ; MIC90, 8-16 mg/L) had elevated MIC90 values and suboptimal susceptibility results (86.1-89.3%) against ENT, EC, and KPN. The oral agents, cefuroxime, amoxicillin-clavulanate, TMP-SMX, and levofloxacin…
