Clinical characteristics and prognosis of infections caused by oxa-48 carbapenemase producing enterobacteriaceae in patients treated with ceftazidime-avibactam
Ceftazidime-avibactam has in vitro activity against Gram-negative bacilli that produce class A, C and some class D β-lactamases, and has been successfully used in the treatment of infections caused by cephalosporin and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. However, actual experience in the treatment of OXA-48 carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) is limited.
