Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

87

Develop fast techniques to screen epidemic and risky clones

Prevent intra- and inter-hospital dissemination of epidemic

Pseudomonas clones

Establishment of early appropriate and targeted antimicrobial

therapies

Perspectives (management of CF infections)

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

General perspectives (research)

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

httpwwwbbccomnewshealth-32755065

86

Check the prevalence of mutations in mexAmexB genes in

Pseudomonas from a recent CF population (20162017)

Determine whether mexAmexB mutations in CF are beneficial for

the activity of temocillin only or could also affect other substrates

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Summary (temocillin in cystic fibrosis)

Related publication Chalhoub et al Nature Sci Reports in press

Impact of efflux mechanisms on susceptibility and resistance to

beta-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

beyond the usual concepts

82

1- [Efflux + porin -] are enough to confer high-level resistance to meropenem

2- [Efflux + porin -] are pre-existing as resistance mechanisms to avibactam which is not used yet in CF patients

3- Mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pumps appear as a mechanism of restored susceptibility to temocillin in Pseudomonas

83

Efflux is a key mechanism of resistance for Pseudomonas from CF

patients

Porins are important players if associated with efflux

Bacterial outer membrane is sufficiently strong barrier against β-

lactams

Conclusion

84

Several paralogous efflux and porin genes to accommodate and

extrude different substrates

Pseudomonas invades different territories with enough fitness

and adaptability

Conclusion

85

Temocillin should be included in CF antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Temocillin could be also used as carbapenem sparing agent against

Pseudomonas with OprD porin mutations

Conclusion
