Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin active against many multidrugresistant (MDR) Gram-negative pathogens. We examined the resistance mechanisms in 12 Acinetobacter baumannii strains with cefiderocol MICs ranging from 32 mu g/ml. Cefiderocol resistance could not be explained by beta-lactamase activity. Cefiderocol resistance was associated with reduced expression of the siderophore receptor gene pirA. Mutations involving PBP3 may have contributed to resistance in one strain. Additional studies are needed to assess the role of other siderophore receptors.
