Novel case of combination antibiotic therapy for treatment of a complicated polymicrobial urinary tract infection with one organism harboring a metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) in a pregnant patient.
IDCases 2024
Carbapenem resistance due to metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) is a global phenomenon and an important challenge for antibiotic therapy (Boyd et al., 2020 [1]). While previous reports have demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo synergy using the combination of ceftazidime-avibactam and aztreonam against Stenotrophomonas maltophilia , an MBL-harboring organism, this treatment strategy has not been reported during pregnancy (Mojic et al., 2017 [2], [3], Mojica et al., 2016 [4], Alexander et al., 2020 [5]). We describe a 33-year-old pregnant female with polymicrobial, bilateral pyelonephritis caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and other gram-negative bacteria. The organisms were eradicated with the combination of ceftazidime-avibactam and aztreonam followed by successful delivery with no observed adverse effects in either mother or child post-partum.
