Background

Plazomicin (PLZ) is novel aminoglycoside (AMG) that was approved by the US FDA in June 2018 to treat complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), including pyelonephritis. This agent is active against most isolates resistant to other AMGs. We evaluated PLZ activity against clinical isolates of Enterobacterales (ENT) from US hospitals.

Methods

10,008 ENT isolates (1/patient) were collected from 35 US medical centers in 2016-2020 and susceptibility tested by the broth microdilution method at a central laboratory. PLZ breakpoints of ≤2/≥8 mg/L for susceptible [S]/resistant [R] (USFDA) were applied, and breakpoints established by the USFDA/CLSI, EUCAST and USCAST were applied to other AMGs for comparison. Isolates were mainly from cUTI (37.7%), bloodstream infection (24.9%), and pneumonia (20.3%).

Results

PLZ exhibited potent activity against ENT (MIC50/90, 0.5/1 mg/L), with S rates varying from 97.8% in 2016 to 95.8% in 2020 (96.8% overall). Against carbapenem-R ENT (CRE), S rates for PZL increased from 96.3% in 2016 to 100.0% in 2020 (Figure; 97.3% overall) and were markedly higher than amikacin (AMK; 75.2% overall), gentamicin (GEN; 48.7%), and tobramycin (TOB; 23.0%). The discrepancies between S rates for PLZ and other AMGs were greater when applying breakpoints generated using the same stringent contemporary methods applied to determine PLZ breakpoints. CRE S rates for AMK were 62.8% as per EUCAST and 52.2% as per USCAST. PLZ retained activity against GEN-non-S (NS; n=875; 90.6%S), TOB-NS (n=944; 92.7%S), and AMK-NS (n=60; 83.3%S) isolates. Among isolates from cUTI (n=3,774), 96.9% were PLZ-S, varying from 97.8% in 2017 to 95.8% in 2020. The ENT species most S to PLZ (lowest MIC values) were C. koseri (100.0%S), K. aerogenes (100.0%S), K. pneumoniae (99.8%S), and E. cloacae (99.7%S), which had MIC50/90 values of 0.25/0.5 mg/L, followed by K. oxytoca (MIC50/90, 0.5/0.5 mg/L; 99.9%S), E. coli (MIC50/90, 0.5/1 mg/L; 99.6%S), and C. freundii (MIC50/90, 0.5/1 mg/L; 100.0%S).

Conclusion

PLZ demonstrated potent activity against a large collection of contemporary ENT isolates from US hospitals with 4-fold lower MIC values than AMK. PLZ was markedly more active than AMK, GEN, or TOB against CRE and retained good activity against isolates NS to these AMGs.
