Indication: Monotherapy – Sulbactam/Cefoperazone is indicated for the treatment of the following infections when caused by susceptible organisms: Respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections (upper and lower), intra-abdominal infections, septicaemia, meningitis, skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, endometritis and other infections in the genital tract. MAGNEX® FORTE is indicated for a specific subset of patients (patients with immunocompromised febrile neutropenic cancer, patients who have undergone a bone marrow transplant).1
Clinical Efficacy & Tolerability

Antimicrobial activity of cefoperazone/sulbactam

  

Cefoperazone/Sulbactam shows antimicrobial activity against ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae organisms1

  

Cefoperazone/Sulbactam in patients with VAP due to CRAB strains

  

Adjunctive therapy with CEP-SUL+ had lower mortality rates and resource utilisation compared with CEP-SUL- in patients with VAP due to CRAB strains3

  • Thirty-day and in-hospital mortality rates for CEP-SUL+ were significantly lower than CEP-SUL− with values of 35%, 39% and 61%, 68%, for CEP-SUL+ and CEP-SUL−, respectively3
     
  • The survival rate for CEP-SUL+ was significantly higher compared with CEP-SUL− (P<0.001)3
     
  • The number of hospital days, ventilator days since diagnosis of VAP and hospital costs were lower for CEP-SUL+3 

  

Adapted from Kanchanasuwan S, et al. 2021.

  

BL/BLIs in infections with ESBL-producing strains

  • In children with high risk of ESBL-producing UTI pathogens or in children with severe sepsis/septic shock, empiric therapy should be initiated with BL/BLI combinations (piperacillin-tazobactam/cefoperazone-sulbactam) or carbapenems4
     
  • In a study which constituted 75.7% of patients with ESBL-producing microbes, the strains were sensitive carbapenems, piperacillin-tazobactam and cefoperazone-sulbactam. The organisms had a 3% resistance to imipenem and 41%, 29.5% and 30.3% resistance to amikacin, piperacillin-tazobactam and cefoperazone-sulbactam, respectively5
The SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme dataThe SENTRY antimicrobial surveillance programme data: Cefoperazone/Sulbactam was among the most active compounds against gram-negative organisms from Europe, APAC and Latin.6

Cefoperazone/Sulbactam continues to demonstrate good in vitro activity against Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa isolates from the APAC region.6
  • In all, 82% to 94.4% of Enterobacterales were susceptible to cefoperazone/sulbactam at ≤16 mg/L6
     
  • In all, 59.5% to 84.6% of P. aeruginosa were susceptible to cefoperazone/sulbactam at ≤16 mg/L6

*In patients using cefoperazone/sulbactam with or without combination with antimicrobial drugs, n=60. Combinations used were cefoperazone/sulbactam combined with minocycline, levofloxacin and meropenem.
