The novel clinical-stage β-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitor combination, cefepime-taniborbactam, demonstrates promising activity toward many Gram-negative bacteria producing class A, B, C, and/or D β-lactamases. We tested this combination against a panel of 150 Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) and Burkholderia gladioli strains. The addition of taniborbactam to cefepime shifted cefepime minimum inhibitory concentrations toward the provisionally susceptible range in 59% of the isolates tested. Therefore, cefepime-taniborbactam possessed similar activity as first-line agents, ceftazidime and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, supporting further development.
