Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CR-PA) continue to pose a significant threat to human health. Furthermore, the prevalence of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing CRE and CR-PA is increasing, which are capable of hydrolyzing nearly all β-lactam antibiotics. Cefepime-taniborbactam (FTB) is a novel bicyclic boronate β-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitor combination with direct inhibitory activity against MBLs (Ambler Class B), in addition to Ambler Class A, C, and D serine-β-lactamases.

This article highlights some important nephrology studies published in 2024 that may be relevant for nonnephrologist physicians. Four studies examined progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiovascular events, and nephrolithiasis with respect to use of semaglutide or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors. Three studies examined treatments to improve specific aspects of CKD management, including mineralocorticoid receptor agonists to address heart failure, avenciguat to address albuminuria, and oral phosphate binders to address fracture risk.

Taniborbactam (formerly known as VNRX-5133) is a novel bicyclic boronate β-lactamase inhibitor of serine β-lactamases (SBLs) [Ambler classes A, C, and D] and metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) [Ambler class B], including NDM and VIM, but not IMP. Cefepime-taniborbactam is active in vitro against most isolates of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA), including both carbapenemase-producing and carbapenemase-non-producing CRE and CRPA, as well as against multidrug-resistant (MDR), ceftazidime-avibactam-resistant, meropenem-vaborbactam-resistant, and ceftolozane-tazobactam-resistant Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa.

Two novel antibiotics have been evaluated for the treatment of urinary tract infection (UTI). Gepotidacin was an efficacious first-in-class oral antibiotic in uncomplicated UTI in comparison to nitrofurantoin. Cefepime/taniborbactam was superior to meropenem in complicated UTI and acute pyelonephritis.
