BACKGROUND: Optimal treatment of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) bone infections is poorly defined. This study evaluated the efficacy of the novel beta-lactam-beta-lactamase inhibitor-ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI)-with different antibiotic combinations in an experimental model of CPE osteomyelitis.

METHODS: KPC-99YC is a clinical strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae with intermediate susceptibility to meropenem (MIC 4 mg/L), gentamicin (MIC 0.25 mg/L), colistin (MIC 0.25 mg/L), fosfomycin (MIC 4 mg/L) and ceftazidime-avibactam (MIC 1 mg/L). Time-kill curves were performed at 4x MIC. Osteomyelitis was induced in rabbits by tibial injection of 2×108 CFU of KPC-99YC. Six groups started treatment 14 days later for 7 days: control, colistin, CAZ-AVI, CAZ-AVI plus gentamicin, CAZ-AVI plus colistin and CAZ-AVI plus fosfomycin. Antibiotic dosages were selected to simulate plasma concentrations obtained in humans. Treatment was evaluated according to bone cultures quantified in log10 CFU.

RESULTS: In vitro, CAZ-AVI plus colistin or gentamicin were rapidly bactericidal in contrast with CAZ-AVI plus fosfomycin. In vivo, compared with controls, colistin alone (P = 0.045) and CAZ-AVI alone or in combination significantly lowered bone bacterial counts (P < 0.001). Bone sterilisation was achieved in 67% and 100% of animals with combinations of CAZ-AVI plus colistin or gentamicin (P = 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively) whereas other treatments were no different from controls. CAZ-AVI plus gentamicin provided greater bone bacterial reduction than CAZ-AVI plus colistin (P = 0.033). No CAZ-AVI-resistant strains emerged in treated rabbits, regardless of combination.

CONCLUSIONS: CAZ-AVI plus gentamicin was the best effective combination therapy. Combinations with CAZ-AVI appear to be a promising treatment of KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae osteomyelitis.
