Effect of modification of penicillin-binding protein 3 on susceptibility to ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-relebactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, aztreonam-avibactam, cefepime-taniborbactam, and cefiderocol of Escherichia coli strains producing broad-spectrum β-lactamases.

The impact of penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3) modifications that may be identified in Escherichia coli was evaluated with respect to susceptibility to β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations including ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-relebactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, aztreonam-avibactam, cefepime-taniborbactam, and to cefiderocol. A large series of E. coli recombinant strains producing broad-spectrum β-lactamases was evaluated. While imipenem-relebactam showed a similar activity regardless of the PBP3 background, susceptibility to other molecules tested was affected at various levels. This was particularly the case for ceftazidime-avibactam, aztreonam-avibactam, and cefepime-taniborbactam.
