In vitro activity of cefiderocol against carbapenemase-producing and meropenem-nonsusceptible gram-negative bacteria collected in the Japan Antimicrobial Resistant Bacterial Surveillance (JARBS-GNR)

This study evaluates the in vitro activity of cefiderocol against carbapenemase-producing and meropenem-nonsusceptible gram-negative bacteria from Japan, showing high susceptibility rates compared to other antibiotics.

Nationwide genome surveillance of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Japan

This study analyzes genome sequences and antimicrobial resistance patterns of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from Japan, revealing genetic diversity and lower multidrug resistance prevalence compared to other regions.

Isolation and characterization of bacteriophages against IMP-6-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from clinical settings in Japan

The paper isolates and characterizes 29 bacteriophages against IMP-6-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae from Japan, showing broad host ranges and demonstrating the effectiveness of a phage cocktail in delaying phage-resistant bacteria emergence.
