Tazobactam

Tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that is often combined with the antibiotic piperacillin to enhance its antimicrobial activity.
It works by blocking the action of enzymes produced by bacteria that can break down and inactivate certain antibiotics.
This combination is commonly used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including those caused by Gram-negative organisms.

Activity of class A/B/D carbapenemases was determined by CarbaNP test (Dortet et al., 2012 (link)) with modifications. Overnight bacterial cell culture in MH broth was diluted 1:100 into 3 ml of fresh MH broth, and bacteria were allowed to grow at 37°C with shaking at 200 rpm to reach an OD600 of 1.0–1.4. If required, ampicillin was used at 200 μg/ml. Bacterial cells were harvested from 2 ml of the above culture, and washed twice with 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.8). Cell pellets were resuspended in 500 μl of 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.8), and lysed by soniation, followed by centrifugation at 10,000 ×g at 4 °C for 5 min. 50 μl of the supernatant (the enzymatic bacterial suspension) were mixed with 50 μl of substrate I to V, respectively, followed by incubation at 37°C for a maximum of 2 h. Substrate I: 0.054% phenol red plus 0.1 mM ZnSO4 (pH 7.8). Substrate II: 0.054% phenol red plus 0.1 mM ZnSO4 (pH 7.8), and 0.6 mg/μl imipenem. Substrate III: 0.054% phenol red plus 0.1 mM ZnSO4 (pH 7.8), 0.6 mg/μl mg imipenem, and 0.8 mg/μl tazobactam. Substrate IV: 0.054% phenol red plus 0.1 mM ZnSO4 (pH 7.8), 0.6 mg/μl mg imipenem, and 3 mM EDTA (pH 7.8). Substrate V: 0.054% phenol red plus 0.1 mM ZnSO4 (pH 7.8), 0.6 mg/μl mg imipenem, 0.8 mg/μl tazobactam, and 3 mM EDTA (pH 7.8).

Kinetic parameters for hydrolysis of β-lactams by the purified OXA-830 β-lactamase were examined using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer (U-3900, HITACHI, Japan) at 30°C in 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) in a final reaction volume of 300 μL. The steady-state kinetic parameters (kcat and KM) were determined by non-linear regression of the initial reaction rates with the Michaelis–Menten equation in Prism (version 7) software (GraphPad Software, San Jose, CA, United States).
β-lactamase inhibition was studied with benzylpenicillin (500 μM) as the substrate. The β-lactamase inhibitors sulbactam, tazobactam and clavulanic acid at various concentrations were preincubated with the purified OXA-830 β-lactamase for 3 min at 30°C before addition of substrate. The inhibitor concentration required to reduce the hydrolysis of 500 μM benzylpenicillin by 50% was determined by non-linear regression with the log(inhibitor) vs. response – Variable slope equation in Prism (version 7) software (GraphPad Software, San Jose, CA, United States).

Library CCM-2 was plated at a density of about 500 CFU/cm2 (non-selective conditions) on LB-agar plates supplemented with 50 µg/ml Spec, 300 µM IPTG, 100 µg/ml ampicillin and 4 or 6 µg/ml tazobactam. Plates were incubated at 37°C for 17 hours. The tazobactam concentration chosen was 1.3 or 2-fold higher than the concentration at which cells bearing wildtype TEM-1 could grow effectively. Large colonies on the plates were chosen at random for sequencing.
Selected single base mutations were re-introduced into TEM-1 by site-directed PFunkel mutagenesis on the 20 µl volume scale. The MIC for ampicillin and piperacillin of the mutants was assessed with and without 6 µg/ml tazobactam by spotting 104 CFU on Mueller-Hinton agar plates containing 50 µg/ml Spec, 300 µM IPTG, and √2-fold increments of either ampicillin or piperacillin. Plates were incubated at 37°C for 12 hrs.

Randomized participants were stratified and dosed by age group. The selected doses were based on population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulations.18 (link) For participants in the ceftolozane/tazobactam group, those 12 to <18 years of age were given 1.0 g ceftolozane and 0.5 g tazobactam (the dose indicated for adult patients with cUTI),15 and those from birth to <12 years of age were given 20 mg/kg ceftolozane and 10 mg/kg tazobactam (maximum of 1.0 g ceftolozane and 0.5 g tazobactam per dose). All participants in the meropenem group received 20 mg/kg (maximum of 1.0 g per dose), with higher dosing up to 30 mg/kg for participants who were 14 days to <3 months of age permitted at the investigator’s discretion. Each dose of ceftolozane/tazobactam or meropenem was administered as a 60-minute (±10 minutes) infusion and dosed every 8 hours (±1 hour) after the previous infusion.
Treatment duration was 7-14 days. After 3 days (9 doses) of IV therapy, optional open-label, standard-of-care, oral step-down therapy was permitted at the investigator’s discretion, with choice of therapy guided by culture and antibacterial susceptibility results, as well as local standard of care for treatment of cUTI. Recommended options for oral step-down therapy were β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, nitrofurantoin, trimethoprim‚ or trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.

A 75-year-old woman was admitted on 13 May 2021 to a University Hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, due to an arterial ulcer in the left foot (Fontaine IV Peripheral Arterial Disease). The disease started a year before and clinical treatments were unsuccessful, leading to bone exposure. Therefore, she was being prepared for a surgical amputation. Positive polymerase chain reaction results from two nasal swabs for SARS-CoV-2 was found twice, 30 and 10 days before admission, and she was treated symptomatically at home. Remarkable data in her past pathological history are systemic arterial hypertension, stroke with resulting aphasia and past history of smoking. She was started on intravenous antimicrobials (piperacillin and tazobactam) and heart monitoring due to the atrial fibrillation. Her general condition worsened quickly, showing drowsiness with disorientation, bradycardia and hypotension, metabolic acidosis, leukocytosis and elevated C-reactive protein. At that time, a nasal swab antigen test did not detect SARS-CoV-2. Two blood samples were collected and sent to the laboratory for culture approximately 6 hours before she died due to the septic shock, 4 days after hospitalization, on 17 May 2021. Yeast-like organisms were isolated from both blood culture samples (Figure 1A).

The MICs of PIS, PTZ, and CSL were determined at our laboratory by the agar dilution method according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines (Thirty-Second Informational Supplement: M100-S32). PIS and CSL were prepared at a ratio of 2:1, and tazobactam in PTZ was used at a fixed concentration of 4 mg/L. Plates were incubated at 35 °C for 16–20 h. E. coli ATCC 25922 and P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 were the quality-control strains.
CLSI criteria were used to interpret the results according to the interpretive standards for PTZ (Enterobacteriaceae: ≤8/4 mg/L = sensitive, ≥32/4 mg/L = resistant; P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii: ≤16/4 mg/L = sensitive, ≥128/4 mg/L = resistant), and PIS (Enterobacteriaceae: ≤8/4 mg/L = sensitive, ≥32/16 mg/L = resistant; P. aeruginosa: ≤16/8 mg/L = sensitive, ≥128/64 mg/L = resistant) [5 (link)]. The FDA criteria for cefoperazone was used to interpret the results for CSL (Enterobacteriaceae and P. aeruginosa: ≤16/8 mg/L = sensitive, ≥64/32 mg/L = resistant). For PIS and CSL against A. baumannii, the CLSI criteria for sulbactam within ampicillin/sulbactam (≤4 mg/L = sensitive and ≥16 mg/L = resistant) were used [20 ].
