Abstract:Mycobacterium abscessus(Mab) affects patients with immunosuppression, Cystic Fibrosis (CF), or underlying structural lung diseases. Additionally,Mabposes clinical challenges due to its resistance to multiple antibiotics. Herein, we investigated the synergistic effect of dual β-lactams [sulopenem and cefuroxime (CXM)] or the combination of sulopenem and CXM with a β-lactamase inhibitors [BLI; avibactam (AVI) or durlobactam (DUR)]. The sulopenem-CXM combination yielded low minimum inhibitory concentration MIC va… Show more
