So on one side bugs are getting worseand on other sideNew antibiotic development is not happening
BLIs: Avibactam (NXL104 - Novexel / AstraZeneca) Inhibits • Class A b-lactamases, Inc. ESBLs & KPC • AmpC types • Some class D (OXA) • Few metallo’s Being combined with: • Ceftazidime, Ceftaroline Expected in 2015 Shahid M et al.Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2009; 35(2): 81–108
The use of the three classical β -lactamase inhibitors (clavulanic acid, tazobactam and sulbactam) in combination with β-lactam antibacterials is currently the most successful strategy to combat β -lactamase-mediated resistance.
BL+BLIs: April 2010 review in Drugs • Various authors have also reported ecological supporting evidence for the activity BL+BLIs against ESBL-producing bacteria, • Use of BL+BLIs as a replacement for extended-spectrum cephalosporins as part of a formulary strategy to, over a period, lower the prevalence of ESBL-producing GNB in healthcare settings. • This strongly suggests that these compounds have a useful ecological impact on the overall reduction of infections due to ESBL-producing bacteria.
Antibiotic susceptibilities BL & BLI combinations from various countriesAntibiotic susceptibilities always increase by adding BLI %
Adding BLI to existing BL: A practical solution to revive exisisting antibiotic • Old and recently developed cephalosporins are threatened by ever evolving new beta-lactamases. • To rescue or at least improve the activity of cephalosporins, • The well-known & established practice of using beta lactamase inhibitor combinations has been revived and applied to recent developmental activities. Current Opinion in Pharmacology 2011, 11:433–438
Cefepime & international guidelines • Cefepime: excellent molecule for nosocomial infections like septicemia, VAP, severe CAP, cIAI, cUTI, cSSTI, menigitis • Recommended by most prestigious international guideline & books like • However, in India, due to high ESBLs • we need to protect cefepime from ESBLs with tazobactam
Cefepime: the most active 4th Gen Ceph • Stable against AmpC & OXA • But it is inactivated by ESBLs • Therefore significant resistance is seen usually when used alone (due to high ESBL prevalence in India)

Mouton et al. ICAAC 2010, using EUCAST breakpoints An innovative approach for ESBL... • take a 4th generation cephalosporin (cefepime [PM]) • should cover (partly AmpC) and resist to OXA • add a -lactamase inhibitor (tazobactam [TZ]) • will take care of many ESBL

EXXTEND - Study Objectives: • To study the molecular epidemiology of TEM, SHV, CTX-M, OXA, Amp C & MBL betalactamase producing gram negative (Enterobacteriaceae) pathogens seen among Indian medical centers • To determine the MIC of BL+BLI combinations against Enterobacteriaceae isolates producing betalactamases • To determine the relationship of the zone of inhibition diameter of two available commercial disc preparations of cefepime-tazobactam (30:10) (HiMedia, India) with the MIC (mcg/mL) determined by agar dilution method thereby to arrive at their breakpoints.

ID consultant from KIMS, Trivandrum - publication in process • 84 patients • Mean age: 51 years (17) • Site of infection (% of total cases) • Urine : 50.6% • Skin: 14.17% • Lung: 13.15% • Blood: 7.8%
Duration of Treatment in CEF/TAZ Responders % of patients Days
Conclusion of this study • The combination of CEF/TAZ will possibly result in superior outcomes compared to other BL+BLI. • These preliminary results suggest that this combination could be a useful alternative, particularly where cost or availability of carbapenems may be an issue. • While we demonstrated 100% susceptibility in vitro in our centre in an unselected group of patients, this may not necessarily imply 100% clinical efficacy.

Take home messages • ESBLs are highest in India even in community infections. • Bacteria are commonly co-producing AmpC & OXA along with ESBLs • We desperately need new & effective antibiotics against GNB • A practical approach: Cefepime is stable against AmpC & OXA, Tazobactam inactivates ESBL • A combination effectively covers all 3 major resistance mechanisms • Which can be a possible carbapenem saving strategy for de-escalation as well as upfront usage in patients with moderately severe infections in ICU. • Will preserve cefepime in India, which is recommended by guidelines • Combination backed up by multiple Indian & international studies • For the first time ever, India has given breakpoint of an antibiotic to the world
