1684. Antimicrobial Activity of Aztreonam-Avibactam Against a Large Collection of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Burkholderia cepacia Species Complex Causing Infections in United States (US) Medical Centers (2016-2021)
Abstract
Abstract Background S. maltophilia has become a major cause of hospital-associated pneumonia. Aztreonam (ATM) is a monobactam stable to hydrolysis by metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), including those intrinsically produced by S. maltophilia. Avibactam (AVI) is a non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor that inhibits serine β-lactamases such as ESBLs, KPCs, AmpCs, and some OXAs. ATM-AVI is being developed for treatment of serious infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, including MBL producers. We evaluated the activity of ATM-AVI against S. maltophilia and B. cepacia from US hospitals. Methods 1,565 S. maltophilia and 219 B. cepacia were consecutively collected (1/patient) in 77 US medical centers in 2016-2021 and susceptibility tested by CLSI broth microdilution method. Only isolates determined to be the probable cause of infection were included. CLSI/US FDA breakpoints were applied when available. Results The isolate collection were recovered mainly from patients with pneumonia (73.3%) and bloodstream infection (BSI; 10.1%). ATM-AVI was very active against S. maltophilia, with MIC50/90s of 2/4 mg/L and 98.3% of isolates inhibited at ≤8 mg/L, including 100.0% of isolates from BSI and 97.9% of isolates from pneumonia. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX; MIC50/90, ≤0.5/1 mg/L; 95.7% susceptible [S]) and minocycline (MIC50/90, 0.5/2 mg/L; 99.2%S) also were very active against S. maltophilia, while ceftazidime and levofloxacin were active against 21.3% and 76.2% of isolates per…
