Abstract excerpt
Twelve pairs of baseline and post-exposure Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from patients treated with ceftazidime-avibactam were evaluated to define mechanisms of treatment-emergent resistance. Resistance was associated with amino acid substitutions in ampC and OXA β-lactamases, or mutations in regulatory genes conferring hyper-production of AmpC and MexAB-OprM efflux pumps. Cross-resistance was common between...
