Published in 2025 at "Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy"

DOI: 10.1093/jac/dkaf391

Abstract: Abstract Cefiderocol, an innovative siderophore cephalosporin, presents a novel therapeutic option against a spectrum of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative pathogens. Nevertheless, resistance remains a formidable challenge, particularly among metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-producing organisms. Accurate antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST)… read more here.
