Abstract excerpt
Ceftazidime/avibactam plus aztreonam (CZA+ATM) is an emerging option to combat carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) expressing resistance via multiple β-lactamases within Ambler classes A, B, C, and D. The benefit of this combination is apparent when the pathogen-specific resistance genotype is characterized. However, rapid molecular diagnostic systems may be unavailable to allow this precision...
