  • Lactamase-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) to Eravacycline
    The Journal of Antibiotics (2016) 69, 600–604 & 2016 Japan Antibiotics Research Association All rights reserved 0021-8820/16 www.nature.com/ja ORIGINAL ARTICLE In vitro susceptibility of β-lactamase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) to eravacycline Yunliang Zhang, Xiaoyan Lin and Karen Bush Eravacycline is a novel, fully synthetic fluorocycline antibiotic of the tetracycline class being developed for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections and complicated intra-abdominal infections. Eravacycline has activity against many key Gram-negative pathogens, including Enterobacteriaceae resistant to carbapenems, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones and β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations, including strains that are multidrug-resistant. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) isolates from 2010 to 2013 (n = 110) were characterized for carbapenemase genes by PCR and sequencing. MICs for eravacycline, tetracycline, tigecycline, amikacin, imipenem, ceftazidime, cefotaxime and levofloxacin were determined in broth microdilution assays. All isolates produced at least one carbapenemase, most frequently KPC-3. Nine isolates produced both a KPC serine carbapenemase and a metallo-β-lactamase, NDM-1 (n = 1) or VIM-1 (n = 8). The 110 isolates were highly resistant to all the β-lactams tested and to levofloxacin, and had MIC50/MIC90 values in the intermediate − 1 − 1 range for tetracycline and amikacin. MIC50/MIC90 values for eravacycline were 1/2 μgml compared with 2/2 μgml for tigecycline. Eravacycline MICs were often twofold lower than for tigecycline, with 64% of the eravacycline MICs o2 μgml− 1 as compared with o4% of tigecycline MICs. Overall, eravacycline demonstrated the lowest cumulative MICs against this panel of recent CRE and may have the potential to treat infections caused by CRE.

  • Concept Paper
    Concept Paper: Potential Approach for Ranking of Antimicrobial Drugs According to Their Importance in Human Medicine: A Risk Management Tool for Antimicrobial New Animal Drugs Introduction This concept paper discusses a potential approach to considering the human medical importance of antimicrobial drugs when assessing and managing antimicrobial resistance risks associated with the use of antimicrobial drugs in animals. In 2003, FDA established a list ranking antimicrobial drugs according to their relative importance in human medicine primarily for the purpose of supporting a qualitative risk assessment process outlined in agency guidance. It was envisioned by the Agency at the time the current medical importance rankings list was published that it would periodically reassess the rankings to align with contemporary science and current human clinical practices. To that end, this paper describes a potential revised process for ranking antimicrobial drugs according to their relative importance in human medicine, potential revised criteria to determine the medical importance rankings, and the list of antimicrobial drug medical importance rankings that would result if those criteria were to be used. Disclaimer: This concept paper is for discussion purposes only. The intent of this concept paper is to obtain public comment and early input on a potential approach to consider the human medical importance of antimicrobial drugs when assessing and managing antimicrobial resistance risks associated with the use of antimicrobial drugs in animals. This concept paper does not contain recommendations and does not constitute draft or final guidance by the Food and Drug Administration. It should not be used for any purpose other than to facilitate public comment.

  • Double Anaerobic Coverage: Role in Clinical Practice Clinical Guideline BACKGROUND
    March 2019 Double Anaerobic Coverage: Role in Clinical Practice Clinical Guideline BACKGROUND Anaerobic pathogens are normal flora of the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract. While oral anaerobic flora are mostly gram-positive organisms such as Peptococcus and Peptostreptococcus spp., the principal anaerobic intestinal flora are gram-negative bacilli such as Bacteroides fragilis, Prevotella melaninogenica, and Fusobacterium spp. Gram-positive oral anaerobes are widely covered by most of the orally-available agents, including penicillin. However, antibiotic activity against the most common intestinal anaerobic bacteria, Bacteroides spp., is variable. Anaerobic coverage is indicated in a variety of infectious processes, including but not limited to aspiration pneumonia, intra-abdominal infection, gynecologic infection, and diabetic foot ulcer infection. Antimicrobial agents with appreciable anaerobic activity include the following: Amoxicillin/clavulanate Meropenem Ampicillin/sulbactam Metronidazole Cefotetan Moxifloxacin Cefoxitin Piperacillin/tazobactam Clindamycin Eravacycline Ertapenem Tigecycline Imipenem Omadacycline Available treatment guidelines published by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) do not recommend the use of double anaerobic coverage in the above mentioned indications. CLINICAL SYNDROMES Aspiration Pneumonia Aspiration pneumonia and pneumonitis are common clinical syndromes. In the case of aspiration pneumonia, oral gram-positive anaerobic flora and gram-negative enteric bacteria are the pathogens

  • Using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae for the Biosynthesis of Tetracycline Antibiotics
    Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the Biosynthesis of Tetracycline Antibiotics Ehud Herbst Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Ehud Herbst All rights reserved ABSTRACT Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the biosynthesis of tetracycline antibiotics Ehud Herbst Developing treatments for antibiotic resistant bacterial infections is among the most urgent public health challenges worldwide. Tetracyclines are one of the most important classes of antibiotics, but like other antibiotics classes, have fallen prey to antibiotic resistance. Key small changes in the tetracycline structure can lead to major and distinct pharmaceutically essential improvements. Thus, the development of new synthetic capabilities has repeatedly been the enabling tool for powerful new tetracyclines that combatted tetracycline-resistance. Traditionally, tetracycline antibiotics were accessed through bacterial natural products or semisynthetic analogs derived from these products or their intermediates. More recently, total synthesis provided an additional route as well. Importantly however, key promising antibiotic candidates remained inaccessible through existing synthetic approaches. Heterologous biosynthesis is tackling the production of medicinally important and structurally intriguing natural products and their unnatural analogs in tractable hosts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Recently, the heterologous biosynthesis of several tetracyclines was achieved in Streptomyces lividans through the expression of their respective biosynthetic pathways. In addition, the heterologous biosynthesis of fungal anhydrotetracyclines was shown in S. cerevisiae. This dissertation describes the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae towards the biosynthesis of target tetracyclines that have promising prospects as antibiotics based on the established structure- activity relationship of tetracyclines but have been previously synthetically inaccessible.

  • Antibiotics Against Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria
    Journal of Clinical Medicine Review An Update on Eight “New” Antibiotics against Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria Erlangga Yusuf * , Hannelore I. Bax, Nelianne J. Verkaik and Mireille van Westreenen Department of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Erasmus University Medical Center, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] (H.I.B.); [email protected] (N.J.V.); [email protected] (M.v.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Infections in the ICU are often caused by Gram-negative bacteria. When these microorgan- isms are resistant to third-generation cephalosporines (due to extended-spectrum (ESBL) or AmpC beta-lactamases) or to carbapenems (for example carbapenem producing Enterobacteriales (CPE)), the treatment options become limited. In the last six years, fortunately, there have been new an- tibiotics approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with predominant activities against Gram-negative bacteria. We aimed to review these antibiotics: plazomicin, eravacycline, temocillin, cefiderocol, ceftazidime/avibactam, ceftolozane/tazobactam, meropenem/vaborbactam, and imipenem/relebactam. Temocillin is an antibiotic that was only approved in Belgium and the UK several decades ago. We reviewed the in vitro activities of these new antibiotics, especially against ESBL and CPE microorganisms, potential side effects, and clinical studies in complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), intra-abdominal infections (cIAI), and hospital-acquired pneumonia/ventilator- associatedpneumonia (HAP/VAP). All of these new antibiotics are active against ESBL, and almost all of them are active against CPE caused by KPC beta-lactamase, but only some of them are active against CPE due to MBL or OXA beta-lactamases.
