Abstract excerpt
Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) is employed for the treatment of infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP). Resistance to CZA is frequently linked to point mutations in the blaKPC. We conducted in vitro simulations of in vivo blaKPC mutations using CZA. Four pre-therapy KPC-KP isolates (K1, K2, K3, and K4) were evaluated, all initially exhibited susceptibility to CZA...
