Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the activity of the novel broad-spectrum serine β-lactamase inhibitor durlobactam (ETX2514) combined with sulbactam against global isolates of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii with defined carbapenem resistance mechanisms compared with reference antimicrobials with known activity against Acinetobacter spp. METHODS: The susceptibility of 246 carbapenem-resistant non-duplicate A. baumannii isolates to sulbactam/durlobactam, amikacin, colistin, imipenem/sulbactam/durlobactam, imipenem, meropenem, minocycline and sulbactam was tested using broth microdilution. Isolates were obtained from various body sites from patients in 37 countries and from six world regions between 2012 and 2016. Identification of carbapenem resistance mechanisms and assignment to A. baumannii clonal lineages was based on WGS. RESULTS: Sulbactam/durlobactam showed excellent activity comparable to colistin but superior to amikacin, minocycline and sulbactam. The sulbactam/durlobactam MIC50/90 values were 1/4 and 2/4 mg/L and the colistin MIC50/90 values were 0.5 and 1 mg/L, respectively. Comparatively, amikacin, minocycline and sulbactam MIC50/90 values were 256/≥512, 2/16 and 16/64 mg/L, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Sulbactam/durlobactam had excellent in vitro potency against A. baumannii isolates, including those that were resistant to imipenem/meropenem, amikacin, minocycline and colistin, compared with other compounds. Sulbactam/durlobactam has the potential to become a useful addition to the limited armamentarium of drugs that can be used to treat this problem pathogen.
