Product Description
Mechanism of action
Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin designed to exploit bacterial iron-uptake systems. It chelates iron and is actively transported into gram-negative bacteria via siderophore receptors, achieving high periplasmic concentrations. Once inside, it binds PBPs and blocks peptidoglycan crosslinking, killing even highly resistant organisms including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermenters.
Benefits and advantages
Used at the forefront of multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative research, iron-uptake pathway studies, β-lactamase-resistant drug design, PK/PD modelling against XDR strains, and siderophore-antibiotic conjugate investigations. A pivotal tool for studying “Trojan horse” antimicrobial strategies.
Side effects and risks
Risks include hypersensitivity, infusion-related reactions, potential selection of very resistant strains, and standard β-lactam adverse effects. Handle with advanced antimicrobial-containment practices.
