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

objectivesTo evaluate the genotypic and ceftazidime/avibactam-susceptibility profiles amongst ceftolozane/tazobactam-non-susceptible (NS), MBL-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a global surveillance programme.

methodsIsolates were collected as part of the ERACE-PA Global Surveillance programme. Carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa deemed clinically relevant by the submitting laboratories were included. Broth microdilution MICs were conducted per CLSI standards to ceftolozane/tazobactam, ceftazidime/avibactam, ceftazidime and cefepime. Genotypic carbapenemases were detected using CarbaR and CarbaR NxG (research use only). Isolates negative for carbapenemases by PCR were assessed via WGS. Isolates were included in the analysis if they were ceftolozane/tazobactam-NS and lacked detection of known MBLs.

resultsOf the 807 isolates collected in the ERACE-PA programme, 126 (16%) were ceftolozane/tazobactam-NS and lacked MBLs. Cross-resistance to ceftazidime and cefepime was common, with only 5% and 16% testing susceptible, respectively. Ceftazidime/avibactam retained in vitro activity, with 65% of isolates testing susceptible. GES was the most common enzymology, detected in 57 (45%) isolates, and 89% remained susceptible to ceftazidime/avibactam. Seven isolates harboured KPC and all tested susceptible to ceftazidime/avibactam. In the remaining 62 isolates, WGS revealed various ESBLs or OXA β-lactamases. While 39% remained susceptible to ceftazidime/avibactam, marked variability was observed among the diverse resistance mechanisms.

conclusionsCeftazidime/avibactam remained active in vitro against the majority of ceftolozane/tazobactam-NS, MBL-negative P. aeruginosa. Ceftazidime/avibactam was highly active against isolates harbouring GES and KPC β-lactamases. These data highlight the potential clinical utility of genotypic profiling as well as the need to test multiple novel agents when carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa are encountered.
