In Vitro Antibacterial Activity and In Vivo Efficacy of Sulbactam-Durlobactam against Pathogenic Burkholderia Species

Abstract

The Gram-negative bacterial genus Burkholderia includes several hard-to-treat human pathogens: two biothreat species, Burkholderia mallei (causing glanders) and B. pseudomallei (causing melioidosis), and the B. cepacia complex (BCC) and B. gladioli , which cause chronic lung infections in persons with cystic fibrosis. All Burkholderia spp. possess an Ambler class A Pen β-lactamase, which confers resistance to β-lactams.
