Abstract Background Ceftriaxone-resistant Escherichia coli infections are increasingly common, partially because of the emergence of E. coli sequence type 131 (ST131), including its subclade C2/H30Rx, which produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases. Methods A prospective cohort including 14 US sites, which enrolled monomicrobial ceftriaxone-resistant and susceptible E. coli bloodstream infection (BSI) cases in a 1:1 ratio, was used to compare ST131 versus non-ST131 E. coli BSI, with specific attention to E. coli ST131 C2/H30Rx. Desirability of outcome ranking was determined at 30 days after infection onset. Results This analysis included 282 patients with E. coli BSI; 43% (121/282) were E. coli ST131 and 23% (66/282) belonged to the C2/H30Rx subclade. Resistance to ceftriaxone was present in 79% (96/121) ST131, 86% (57/66) E. coli ST131 C2/H30Rx, and 27% (43/161) E. coli non-ST131. Compared to patients with non-ST131 E. coli BSI, patients with ST131 BSI were older (median 70 years, [Q1 62, Q3 76] years vs 65 years, [51, 74]; P = .005) and more often admitted from long-term care facilities (21/121 [17%] vs 7/161 [4%], P < .001). Overall and empiric carbapenem use was more frequent in the treatment of patients with ST131 BSI compared with non-ST131 BSI (overall 89/121 [74%] vs 50/161 [31%]; empiric: 58/121 [48%] vs 31/161 [19%], P < .001). Desirability of outcome ranking outcomes were similar between groups. Conclusions Most ceftriaxone-resistant E. coli from US patients with E. coli BSI belong to ST131, particularly E. coli ST131 C2/H30Rx, serving as an important driver of carbapenem use.

ABSTRACT The activity of a novel β-lactamase inhibitor combination, sulbactam-durlobactam (SUL-DUR), was tested against 87 colistin-resistant and/or cefiderocol-non-susceptible carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates collected from U.S. hospitals between 2017 and 2019. Among them, 89% and 97% were susceptible to SUL-DUR and imipenem plus SUL-DUR, with MIC 50 /MIC 90 values of 2 µg/mL/8 µg/mL and 1 µg/mL/4 µg/mL, respectively. The presence of amino acid substitutions in penicillin-binding protein 3, including previously reported A515V or T526S, was associated with SUL-DUR non-susceptibility.
