Abstract

Resistance development to novel cephalosporin-β-lactamase inhibitor combinations during ceftazidime treatment of a surgical infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa was investigated. Both, initial (97C2) and final (98G1) isolates, belonged to the high-risk clone ST235 and were resistant to carbapenems (oprD-), fluoroquinolones (GyrA-T83I, ParC-S87L) and aminoglycosides (aacA7/aacA8/aadA6). 98G1 additionally showed resistance to ceftazidime, ceftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam. Sequencing identified blaOXA-2 in 97C2, but 98G1 contained a 3-bp insertion leading to the duplication of the key residue D149 (designated OXA-539). Evaluation of PAO1 transformants producing cloned OXA-2 or OXA-539 confirmed that D149 duplication was the cause of resistance. Active surveillance of the emergence of resistance to these new valuable agents is warranted.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 November 2017.
All research outputs
#3,275,946
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
#2,158
of 15,580 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#57,327
of 324,941 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
#75
of 230 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 15,580 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 324,941 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 230 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
