In Vitro Activity of 22 Antibiotics against <i>Achromobacter</i> Isolates from People with Cystic Fibrosis. Are There New Therapeutic Options?

Bacteria belonging to the genus <i>Achromobacter</i> are increasingly isolated from respiratory samples of people with cystic fibrosis (PWCF). The management of this multidrug-resistant genus is challenging and characterised by a lack of international recommendations, therapeutic guideli...

description Bacteria belonging to the genus <i>Achromobacter</i> are increasingly isolated from respiratory samples of people with cystic fibrosis (PWCF). The management of this multidrug-resistant genus is challenging and characterised by a lack of international recommendations, therapeutic guidelines and data concerning antibiotic susceptibility, especially concerning the newer antibiotics. The objective of this study was to describe the antibiotic susceptibility of <i>Achromobacter</i> isolates from PWCF, including susceptibility to new antibiotics. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 22 antibiotics were determined for a panel of 23 <i>Achromobacter</i> isolates from 19 respiratory samples of PWCF. Two microdilution MIC plates were used: EUMDROXF<sup>®</sup> plate (Sensititre) and Micronaut-S Pseudomonas MIC<sup>®</sup> plate (Merlin) and completed by a third method if necessary (E-test<sup>®</sup> or UMIC<sup>®</sup>). Among usual antimicrobial agents, the most active was imipenem (70% susceptibility). Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, piperacillin and tigecycline (65%, 56% and 52% susceptibility, respectively) were still useful for the treatment of <i>Achromobacter</i> infections. Among new therapeutic options, β-lactams combined with a β-lactamase-inhibitor did not bring benefits compared to β-lactam alone. On the other hand, cefiderocol appeared as a promising therapeutic alternative for managing <i>Achromobacter</i> infections in PWCF. This study provides the first results on the susceptibility of clinical <i>Achromobacter</i> isolates concerning new antibiotics. More microbiological and clinical data are required to establish the optimal treatment of <i>Achromobacter</i> infections.
