Abstract
Cefiderocol is a novel catechol siderophore cephalosporin antibiotic developed to treat resistant gram-negative infections. We describe its successful use as rescue therapy, combined with surgical debridement, to treat a patient with osteomyelitis due to extensively drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Bacterial whole genome sequencing identified the strain and antibiotic resistance determinants.Keywords
