β-LACTAM-β-LACTAMASE INHIBITOR COMBINATIONS AND NOVEL β-LACTAMS TARGETING GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA
In this document we aim to show the expected inhibitory activity of β-lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) alone and the predicted efficacy of β-lactam-
β-lactamase inhibitor (BLBLI) combinations and cefiderocol against various β-lactamases affecting β-lactam susceptibility in
Gram-negative bacteria (Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas spp., and Acinetobacter baumannii group).
