The aim of this study is to report our experience with ceftolozane-tazobactam and to evaluate its safety and efficacy in the treatment of ICU dependent nosocomial respiratory tract infections due to extensively drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Different dosing regimes of ceftalozane-tazobactam is evaluated and compared to the standard therapy of Colomycin.
Ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T) is a novel type of beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor antibiotics targeting nosocomial infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. In recent years, ceftolozane-tazobactam was prescribed for treating complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) and complicated intraabdominal infections (cIAI). Following the results of ASPECT-NP trial in 2019, it was approved as a therapeutic option in nosocomial pneumonia including hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).
The drug shows an excellent activity against ESBL-producing Enterobacterales and multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The latter is widely recognized as a common pathogen of nosocomial respiratory tract infections.
There is still a need for observations of clinical experiences to better define the risk-benefit profile of ceftolozane-tazobactam. The aim of this study is to report our experience with ceftolozane-tazobactam and to evaluate its safety and efficacy in the treatment of ICU dependent nosocomial respiratory tract infections due to extensively drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Different dosing regimes of ceftalozane-tazobactam is evaluated and compared to the standard therapy of Colomycin.
