730. Cefiderocol for the Treatment of Achromobacter xylosoxidans Infections in Two Lung Transplant Patients with Cystic Fibrosis

摘要

Background Achromobacter xylosoxidansis a highly resistant Gram-negative bacterium that causes chronic infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Treatment options for A. xylosoxidans are limited. In the peri-lung transplant setting, the treatment of A. xylosoxidans infections is especially challenging. Cefiderocol is a novel siderophore cephalosporin antibiotic with broad anti-Gram-negative activity, including against A. xylosoxidans. We report here two cases of compassionate use of cefiderocol in CF lung transplant recipients with A. xylosoxidans infection.
