Education: The role of the first siderophore cephalosporin Fetcroja®(cefiderocol) in UK clinical practice: Introduction

Abstract

Welcome to this special JAC-Antimicrobial Resistance Supplement, which is sponsored by Shionogi BV. The march of increasing Gram-negative resistance is relentless, and in the last 10 years we have seen a development in the pipeline of antimicrobials targeting the most resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Within this Supplement, we will present the current landscape for Gram-negative treatments, the launch data for cefiderocol, UK potential positioning and examples of early use.
