Treatment of invasive IMP-4 Enterobacter cloacae infection in transplant recipients using ceftazidime/avibactam with aztreonam: A case series and literature review

Kelly A. Cairns et al.

Summary: Infections caused by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) pose a emerging threat in transplant recipients, often resulting in high mortality due to limited treatment options and toxicities. A novel approach using a combination of ceftazidime/avibactam with aztreonam has shown promise in successfully treating invasive MBL-CPE infections, offering a new treatment option with reduced drug interactions and toxicity for high-risk patients.
