Biochem/physiol Actions

Aztreonam is a monobactam antibiotic used primarily to treat gram-negative bacterial infections. It is an older compound being re-examined as a therapeutic agent because of increasing carbapenem resistance in aerobic Gram-negative bacilli and because aztreonam is stable to Ambler class B metallo-β-lactamases. It is used alone or more commonly in combination with β-lactamase inhibitors such as avibactim.

Among 177 carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacilli (108 KPC, 32 NDM, 11 IMP, 8 OXA-48, 4 OXA-181, 2 OXA-232, 5 IMI, 4 VIM, and 3 SME producers), aztreonam-avibactam was active against all isolates except two NDM producers with elevated MICs of 8/4

The monobactam aztreonam is currently being re-examined as a therapeutic agent in light of the global spread of carbapenem resistance in aerobic Gram-negative bacilli and aztreonam's stability to Ambler class B metallo-β-lactamases. Of particular interest are the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic

An interregional surveillance program was conducted in the northwestern part of France to determine the prevalence of carbapenem-nonsusceptible Enterobacteriaceae (CNSE) isolates and their susceptibility to ceftazidime-avibactam and aztreonam-avibactam combinations. Nonduplicate CNSE clinical isolates were prospectively collected from six hospitals between
