Cefiderocol (CFDC) is a novel cephalosporin with a catechol moiety that mimics siderophore function, enabling targeted antimicrobial activity against these pathogens.

VAP was induced in neutropenic mice by intratracheal inoculation of bacterial suspension, following endotracheal tube placement to mimic VAP. Pharmacokinetics (PK) analysis was performed to determine CFDC dosing regimens that achieved 70% of the time above the minimum inhibitory concentration (fT &gt; MIC) over 24 h in plasma, which was the average value reported in previous non-clinical studies. In VAP caused by a strain of CR-Ab, CFDC significantly improved the survival rate and reduced bacterial load in the lungs with fT &gt; MIC of 70%. However, in VAP caused by a strain of CR-Pa, CFDC did not significantly improve the survival rate or reduce bacterial load in the lungs, even with fT &gt; MIC of 70%. To evaluate whether a higher fT &gt; MIC of CFDC would enhance\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                      efficacy, we assessed the bactericidal effect at higher fT &gt; MIC values. A significant reduction in bacterial load in the lungs was observed in VAP caused by CR-Pa when fT &gt; MIC exceeded 90%. These findings suggest that the optimal CFDC dosing regimen for VAP may differ depending on the causative pathogen, with higher fT &gt; MIC targets potentially necessary for infections caused by\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P. aeruginosa<\/jats:italic>\n                      .\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:sec>\n                      <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n                      <jats:p>\n                        Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by drug-resistant non-fermenting bacteria, such as\n                        <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/jats:italic>\n                        and\n                        <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Acinetobacter baumannii,<\/jats:italic>\n                        is difficult to treat.
