Abstract

Cefiderocol, formerly S-649266, is a first in its class, an injectable siderophore cephalosporin that combines a catechol-type siderophore and cephalosporin core with side chains similar to cefepime and ceftazidime. This structure and its unique mechanism of action confer enhanced stability against hydrolysis by many β-lactamases, including extended spectrum β-lactamases such as CTX-M, and carbapenemases such as KPC, NDM, VIM, IMP, OXA-23, OXA-48-like, OXA-51-like and OXA-58. Cefiderocol's spectrum of activity encompasses both lactose-fermenting and non-fermenting Gram-negative pathogens, including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales. Cefiderocol recently received US Food and Drug Administration approval for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis, and is currently being evaluated in phase III trials for nosocomial pneumonia and infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens. The purpose of this article is to review existing data on the mechanism of action, microbiology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy, and safety of cefiderocol to assist clinicians in determining its place in therapy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
