Summary of evidence and Expert Committee recommendations
The Committee did not recommend inclusion of imipenem + cilastatin + relebactam (IMR) as a Reserve group antibiotic on the complementary list of the EML and EMLc for the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. The Committee noted that IMR lacks in vitro activity against the carbapenemase genotypes most commonly associated globally with carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales and that other antibiotics with similar spectrum of activity (e.g. cefiderocol, ceftazidime + avibactam, meropenem + vaborbactam) are already included as Reserve antibiotics on the Model Lists.
