Drug Resistance Mechanism of Enterobacteriaceae and Its Strategies

April 29, 2023 updated by: Mingju Hao, Qianfoshan Hospital

Evaluation of Ceftazidime-avibactam Plus Aztreonam in Patients Infected by MBL-producing Enterobacterales and CRISPR/Cas9-based Strategy for Curing Drug-resistant Genes

The first aim of this study is to explore the drug resistance mechanism of Enterobacteriaceae bacteria and to evaluate the treatment effect of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) in combination with aztreonam (ATM) against Metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) producing Enterobacterales in vivo. The investigators then use CRISPR/Cas9 technology to remove Enterobacteriaceae bacteria resistance and virulence genes

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Clinical information of subjects, including diseases, departments, medication history, days of hospitalization, and treatment outcomes will be collected; Bacterial species names will be identified and drugs sensitivity will be detected; For patients with bloodstream infection of MBL-producing Enterobacterales, ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) was administered at the dose of 2.5 g every 8 hours and aztreonam (ATM) at the dose of 2 g every 8 hours.

The primary outcome measure was 30-day all-cause mortality, while secondary outcomes were clinical failure at day 14 and length of stay (LOS) after bloodstream infection diagnosis. Cox regression analysis, including a propensity score (PS) for receiving CAZ-AVI plus ATM, was conducted to assess the primary and secondary outcomes. The CRISPR/Cas9 gene curation technology was used to eliminate the drug resistance and virulence factors of Enterobacteriaceae in the mouse intestinal colonization model.
