Background    P. aeruginosa  is a Gram-negative pathogen responsible for many serious infections. MDR, both intrinsic and acquired, presents major clinical challenges. Taniborbactam (formerly VNRX-5133; Fig 1) is a β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) characterized as a bicyclic boronate, uniquely possessing activity toward all four Ambler classes of β-lactamases, both serine and metallo, with the exception of class B IMP β-lactamases. The β-lactam-BLI (BL-BLI) combination cefepime-taniborbactam (FTB; Fig 1) is currently in phase 3 clinical trials.Structures of taniborbactam and cefepime. The β-lactamase inhibitor is in red and the β-lactam antibiotic is in black.    Methods  The activity of FTB was tested against 197 well-characterized clinical  P. aeruginosa  isolates that were part of PRIMERS (Platforms for Rapid Identification of MDR-Gram-negative bacteria and Evaluation of Resistance Studies). Nearly 58% of these strains were reported as carbapenem-non-susceptible. Porin changes, efflux pumps, and/or the presence of acquired class A or class B carbapenemases were previously reported. Broth microdilution minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by CLSI M07 Ed. 11 methods with custom Sensititre frozen panels and interpreted using CLSI M100 Ed. 30 breakpoints. American Type Culture Collection strains were used for quality control. FEP breakpoints were provisionally used for FTB, where taniborbactam was fixed at 4 µg/mL.    Results  Percent susceptibility to BL agents alone was 45.2% for imipenem (IPM), 55.8% for meropenem (MEM), 60.9% for ceftazidime (CAZ), and 67.0% for FEP. The addition of BLI to BL increased % susceptibility for MEM-vaborbactam (MVB), 56.9%; ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T), 77.7%, CAZ-avibactam (CZA), 79.7%, and FTB, 82.7%. MIC 50 s were in the susceptible range for all drugs except IPM, which was intermediate, and all MIC 90 s were in the resistant range (Table 1). Taniborbactam reduced FEP MIC by 2-fold in 32% of isolates and ≥ 4-fold in 13% of isolates. Against carbapenem-non-susceptible strains, % susceptibilities were: FTB, 68.5%, CZA, 63.0%, C/T, 59.3%; and MVB, 21.3% (Table 2).MIC50 and MIC90 values (µg/mL) and percent susceptibility (%S) for all P. aeruginosa strains (n=197).

Conclusion  Compared to MVB, CZA, and C/T, FTB demonstrated the greatest activity against the 197  P. aeruginosa  strains tested, including many carbapenem-non-susceptible strains. Pending completion of clinical development, FTB may be a promising therapeutic option for MDR  P. aeruginosa  infections.
