1373. Activity of Ceftriaxone–Sulbactam–EDTA Against Multi-Drug-resistant A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa and Enterobacteriaceae Isolates (WHO Critical Priority Pathogens) Collected from Various Hospitals in India

Background Ceftriaxone–Sulbactam–EDTA (CSE) is the first cephalosporin–β-lactamase inhibitor combination with an antibiotic resistance breaker–disodium edetate, recently evaluated in a Phase 3 clinical trial for treatment of adults with complicated urinary tract infections ({"type":"clinical-trial","attrs":{"text":"NCT03477422","term_id":"NCT03477422"}}NCT03477422). The addition of Sulbactam and EDTA expands the spectrum of activity of Ceftriaxone to include extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL) and metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) producing bacteria. This study evaluated the in vitro activity of CSE against 3,150 isolates (716 (22.73%) E. coli; 435 (13.81%) K. pneumoniae; 1,075 (34.13%) A. baumannii; 924 (29.33%) P. aeruginosa) collected from 22 hospitals in India during 2013–2016.
