Cefiderocol
A novel siderophore cephalosporin antibiotic that uses the iron transport system of bacteria to actively penetrate bacterial cells, overcoming many resistance mechanisms. It is indicated for the treatment of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria, including Acinetobacter, which are extremely difficult to treat. Its unique iron-chelating mechanism allows it to remain effective even against many multidrug-resistant organisms.

Mécanisme d'action
Disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis. The resulting cell wall defects cause osmotic instability and bacteriolysis.
