Abstract
The new diazabicyclooctane-based β-lactamase inhibitors avibactam and relebactam improve the in vitro activity of β-lactam antibiotics against Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC). Here, we evaluated the in vitro activity of two newer diazabicyclooctane-based β-lactamase inhibitors in clinical development, nacubactam and zidebactam, with β-lactams against clinical isolates of MABC. Both inhibitors lowered the MICs of their partner β-lactams, meropenem (eight-fold) and cefepime (two-fold), and those of other β-lactams, similar to prior results with avibactam and relebactam.
