ABSTRACT
The impact of broad-spectrum ß-lactamases on the susceptibility to novel ß-lactamase/ß-lactamase inhibitor combinations was evaluated both in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli using isogenic backgrounds. Cefepime-zidebactam displayed low MICs, mainly due to the significant intrinsic antibacterial activity of zidebactam. Cefepime-taniborbactam showed excellent activity against recombinant E. coli strains, including metallo-ß-lactamase producers, whereas aztreonam-avibactam remained the best therapeutic option against class B ß-lactamase-producing P. aeruginosa.
