Complicated Clinical Infections: Clinical Impact of New Data From ECCMID 2023

In this episode, David van Duin, MD, PhD, FIDSA, FAST, discusses new data on complicated clinical infections presented at ECCMID 2023, including:

• Gram-negative resistance
  • Pharmacokinetic and clinical outcomes in patients receiving meropenem/vaborbactam for KPC-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales infections
  • Comparative study of cefiderocol- vs colistin-containing regimens for CRAB VAP with concomitant bacteremia
  • Real-world use of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam for the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms
• Antimicrobial stewardship
  • Safety and efficacy of antibiotic de-escalation from an antipseudomonal β-lactam in patients with Enterobacterales BSIs in SIMPLIFY
  • The SOAB study comparing clinical outcomes of switching to oral antibiotics after IV lead-in therapy vs continuing IV therapy in patients with Enterobacterales BSIs
  • Data from REGARD-VAP on outcomes of shortened antibiotic treatment for VAP guided by clinical criteria
• Investigational agents
  • Open-label study following ATTACK of patients with colistin-resistant CRAB infections receiving sulbactam/durlobactam
  • Summary of findings from EAGLE-2 and EAGLE-3 of gepotidacin for uncomplicated UTI treatment
  • Post hoc DOOR analysis of SURE-2 of sulopenem for the treatment of complicated UTIs
