Abstract
Herein, we describe the in vivo efficacy of human-simulated WCK 5222 (cefepime-zidebactam) exposure against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains in a neutropenic murine thigh infection model. Five of the six isolates examined expressed OXA-23 or OXA-24. WCK 5222, despite showing MICs of 16 to 64 mg/liter, produced remarkable in vivo activity; human-simulated exposure showed a decline in the bacterial burden for all isolates (mean reduction, -2.09 ± 1.01 log10 CFU/thigh), while a lack of activity was observed with cefepime and zidebactam monotherapies.Entities:
