1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The evolution of bacterial antibiotic resistance is exhausting the list of currently used antibiotics and endangers those in the pipeline. The combination of antibiotics is a promising strategy that may suppress resistance development and/or achieve synergistic therapeutic effects. Eravacycline is a newly approved antibiotic that is effective against a variety of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. However, the evolution of resistance to eravacycline and strategies to suppress the evolution remain unexplored. Here, we demonstrated that a carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate quickly developed resistance to eravacycline, which is mainly caused by mutations in the gene encoding the Lon protease. The evolved resistant mutants display collateral sensitivities to β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor (BLBLI) combinations aztreonam/avibactam and ceftazidime-avibactam. Proteomic analysis revealed upregulation of the multidrug efflux system AcrA-AcrB-TolC and porin proteins OmpA and OmpU, which contributed to the increased resistance to eravacycline and susceptibility to BLBLIs, respectively. The combination of eravacycline with aztreonam/avibactam or ceftazidime-avibactam suppresses resistance development. We further demonstrated that eravacycline-resistant mutants evolved from an NDM-1-containing K. pneumoniae strain display collateral sensitivity to aztreonam/avibactam, and the combination of eravacycline with aztreonam/avibactam suppresses resistance development. In addition, the combination of eravacycline with aztreonam/avibactam or ceftazidime-avibactam displayed synergistic therapeutic effects in a murine cutaneous abscess model. Overall, our results revealed mechanisms of resistance to eravacycline and collateral sensitivities to BLBLIs and provided promising antibiotic combinations in the treatment of multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae infections.
