Abstract
Meropenem/vaborbactam plus aztreonam as a possible treatment strategy for bloodstream infections caused by ceftazidime/avibactam-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae: a retrospective case series and literature review. Future studies are needed to compare the MER/VAB+ATM combination with CAZ/AVI+ATM in MBL-producing Kp infections. Metallo- -lactamase (MBL)-producing I Klebsiella pneumoniae i (Kp) is increasingly reported in Europe and the United States, and limited treatment options are available against this superbug.[[1], [3], [5]] MBLs hydrolyse all -lactams except aztreonam, but this latter cannot be used as monotherapy because of the co-production of expanded-spectrum- -lactamases (ESBL).
