Exploring Cefiderocol Resistance Mechanisms in Burkholderia pseudomallei

Abstract

Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin designed mainly for treatment of infections caused by β-lactam and multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Burkholderia pseudomallei clinical isolates are usually highly cefiderocol susceptible, with in vitro resistance found in a few isolates. Resistance in clinical B. pseudomallei isolates from Australia is caused by a hitherto uncharacterized mechanism.
