In vitro activity of cefiderocol, a siderophore cephalosporin, against carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in China

Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin that binds ferric iron and utilizes iron transporters to cross the cell membrane. Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is known to produce more siderophores; in this case, the uptake of cefiderocol may be decreased. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of cefiderocol against hvKp isolates. A total of 320 carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKp) isolates were collected in China between 2014 and 2022, including 171 carbapenem-resistant hvKp (CR-hvKp) and 149 carbapenem-resistant classical K. pneumoniae (CR-cKp). Quantitative detection of siderophores showed that the average siderophore production of CR-hvKp (234.6 mg/L) was significantly higher than that of CR-cKp (68.9 mg/L, P < 0.001). The overall cefiderocol resistance rate of CR-hvKp and CR-cKp was 5.8% (10/171) and 2.7% (4/149), respectively. The non-susceptible rates of both cefiderocol and siderophore production of CR-hvKp isolates were higher than those of CR-cKp in either NDM-1- or KPC-2-producing groups. The MIC90 and MIC50 for CR-hvKp and CR-cKp were 8 mg/L and 2 mg/L and 4 mg/L and 1 mg/L, respectively. The cumulative cefiderocol MIC distribution for CR-hvKp was significantly lower than that of CR-cKp isolates (P = 0.003). KL64 and KL47 consisted of 53.9% (83/154) and 75.7% (53/70) of the ST11 CR-hvKp and CR-cKp, respectively, and the former had significantly higher siderophore production. In summary, cefiderocol might be less effective against CR-hvKp compared with CR-cKp isolates, highlighting the need for caution regarding the prevalence of cefiderocol-resistant K. pneumoniae strains, particularly in CR-hvKp isolates.
