Abstract

Cefiderocol inhibited 97.5% of 478 Gram-negative isolates from cancer patients at ≤4 mg/liter. It had potent activity against extended-spectrum β-lactamase-positive Enterobacteriaceae, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), and nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Acinetobacter species isolates. Amikacin, ceftazidime-avibactam, and meropenem had appreciable activity against non-CRE Enterobacteriaceae. No comparators were active against multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates. Only trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole had appreciable activity against S. maltophilia isolates. Overall, cefiderocol was associated with the lowest level of resistance.
