Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat. As “proof-of-concept, ” we employed a system-based approach to identify patient, bacterial, and drug variables contributing to mortality in patients with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp) bloodstream infections exposed to colistin (COL) and ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ/AVI) as mono- or combination therapies. Patients (n = 49) and CRKp isolates (n = 22) were part of the Consortium on Resistance Against Carbapenems in Klebsiella and other Enterobacteriaceae (CRACKLE-1), a multicenter, observational, prospective study of patients with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) conducted between 2011 and 2016. Pharmacodynamic activity of mono- and combination drug concentrations was evaluated over 24 h using in vitro static time-kill assays. Bacterial growth and killing dynamics were estimated with a mechanism-based model. Random Forest was used to rank variables important for predicting.
