    spp. are increasingly reported among cystic fibrosis patients. Genotyping requires time-consuming methods such as multilocus sequence typing or pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Therefore, data on the prevalence of multiresistant epidemic clones, especially A. xylosoxidans ST137 (AxST137) and the Danish epidemic strain (DES), are lacking. We recently developed and published a database for species identification by matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS; Bruker Daltonics). The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of the MALDI-TOF MS to distinguish these multiresistant epidemic clones within species. All the spectra of A. xylosoxidans ( = 1,571) and ( = 174) used to build the local database were analyzed by ClinProTools, MALDI Biotyper PCA, MALDI Biotyper dendrogram, and flexAnalysis software for biomarker peak detection. Two hundred two isolates (including 48 isolates of AxST137 and 7 of DES) were tested. Specific biomarker peaks were identified: absent peak at 6,651 for AxST137 isolates and present peak at 9,438 for DES isolates. All tested isolates were well typed by our local database and clustered within distinct groups (ST137 or non-ST137 and DES or non-DES) no matter the MALDI-TOF software or only by simple visual inspection of the spectra by any user. The use of MALDI-TOF MS allowed us to identify isolates of A. xylosoxidans belonging to the AxST137 clone that spread in France and Belgium (the Belgian epidemic clone) and of belonging to the DES clone. This tool will help the implementation of segregation measures to avoid interpatient transmission of these resistant clones

    Aim: Meropenem–vaborbactam and delafloxacin activities were not assessed against Achromobacter spp. (Achr), Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (Smal). Methodology: A total of 106 Achr, 57 Bcc and 100 Smal were tested with gradient diffusion test of meropenem–vaborbactam, delafloxacin and comparators. Results: Meropenem–vaborbactam MIC50 were 4 μg/ml for Achr, 1 μg/ml for B. cepacia, 2 μg/ml for B. cenocepacia and B. multivorans, and 32 μg/ml for Smal. Delafloxacin MIC50 were 4 μg/ml for Achr, 0.25 μg/ml for B. cepacia and B. multivorans, 2 μg/ml for B. cenocepacia, and 0.5 μg/m for Smal. meropenem–vaborbactam MICs were fourfold lower than meropenem for 28.3% Achr, 77.2% B. cepacia, 53.8% B. cenocepacia and 77.2% B. multivorans. Conclusion: Meropenem–vaborbactam and delafloxacin are in vitro active against Bcc and Achr.</p
