Antimicrobial activity of ceftolozane/tazobactam against Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the Czech Republic in 2016

OBJECTIVE: Ceftolozane/tazobactam is an antibiotic effective against Gram-negative bacteria(including Pseudomonas aeruginosa).The study aimed at determining the effectiveness of the novel antibiotic in the Czech Republic.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: The effectiveness of the antibiotic was studied in 16 Czech laboratories in 822 Enterobacteriaceae isolates (including AmpC and ESBL producers) and P. aeruginosa causing complicated intraabdominal or urinary tract infections. Minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined using the Etest. With the exception of Citrobacter freundii and Enterobacter cloacae, ceftozolane/tazobactam proved to be very effective against Enterobacteriaceae; no P. aeruginosa strain was resistant to the antibiotic.

CONCLUSION: The results confirmed good activity of ceftozolane/tazobactam in vitro against Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Proteus mirabilis) and P. aeruginosa in the Czech Republic.
