8 Mechanisms of Carbapenem Resistance Carbapenemases e.g., bla KPC, bla NDM, bla VIM, bla OXA-48, and bla IMP Porin alterations decreased OM permeability Efflux upregulation Hyperproduction of ESBLs, AmpC in combination with porin, efflux mutations Altered penicillin-binding proteins

9 Rx CRE pre-2015 Polymyxin B/Colistin Tigecycline Best results: combination of one in vitro active drug with optimally dosed/administered anti-pseudomonal carbapenem. Robilotti, Deresinski F1000Rep 2014; 6:80. Watkins, Deresinski Exp Review Anti Infect Ther 2015; 13:405-7.

10 COLISTIN (POLYMYXIN E)

11 Polymyxins Resistance Mechanisms Polymyxins are polycationic at physiologic ph and depend on binding to negatively charged outer layer of outer bacterial cell membrane Resistance primarily due to post-translational modification of OM LPS reducing net negative charge of phosphate residues (ie, making it more +) Most often: addition of, eg, phosphonoethanolamine to lipid A of LPS core Mutational or acquisition of mcr (plasmid-mediated) In some cases, complete loss of LPS Int J Antimicrob Agents 2017; 49:

12 Colistin (Polymyxin E) Multiple components; may be batchbatch variation Administered as inactive prodrug: Na+ salt of colistin methanesulfonate (CMS; colistemethate) Renal clearance of CMS (converted in urine) more efficient than conversion to parent Conversion is slow (hours to therapeutic) and incomplete (approx. 25%) Significant inter-pt clearance variability Nephrotoxic Uses: UTI, Inhalational Polymyxin B Multiple components Active moiety (as sulfate salt) Mainly non-renal excretion dosage adjustments not required Nephrotoxic Uses: Non-UTI

13

14 Colistimethate Slow hydrolysis to active Form 4 hours required to reach peak colistin concentration - But below breakpoint

15 TIGECYCLINE: 9-t-butylglycyclyl minocycline 9-t-butylglycyclyl amido side chain: Enables binding to 30s RNA even in presence of Tet(M) Makes tigecycline a poor substrate for tetracycline-specific efflux pumps
