Abstract Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae producing metallo-β-lactamases poses a global threat, as it is unresponsive to most β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor (BL/BLI) combinations. This study evaluated the in vitro activity of aztreonam–zidebactam (AZT + ZID) and comparator BL/BLI combinations against clinical K. pneumoniae and identified genomic determinants of susceptibility. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were tested for 130 K. pneumoniae isolates.

| PLOS ONE
Loading metrics Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Abstract Background Cefiderocol (CFDC) is a novel siderophore-cephalosporin, effective against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. As it has a siderophore side chain, it can utilize iron acquisition systems for penetration of the bacterial outer membrane. We aimed to elucidate the role of siderophores and iron uptake receptors in defining Klebsiella pneumoniae susceptibility to CFDC. Methods Initially, 103 K.
