Abstract
New antibiotics with activity against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) improve outcomes of CRE-infected patients. However, companies developing these drugs have faced financial difficulties. Sales of ceftazidime-avibactam, meropenem-vaborbactam and plazomicin in the United States (US) totaled $101 million from February 2018-January 2019. We estimate the current annual US market for new anti-CRE antibiotics is $289 million (range: $169-$439 million). Without new antibiotic development models and/or reimbursement reform, the majority of anti-CRE drugs will be commercially inviable.Entities:
