Ceftolozane/tazobactam for difficult‐to‐treat Gram‐negative infections : A real‐world tertiary hospital experience

Abstract Objective To evaluate the real‐world clinical efficacy of ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T) in difficult‐to‐treat infections caused by multi‐drug resistant Gram‐negative microorganisms, including carbapenem‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods Retrospective cohort study of adult patients treated with C/T for at least 48 hours for infections caused by multi‐drug resistant Gram‐negative bacteria in a tertiary hospital from May 2016 until August 2019. The primary outcome analysed was clinical failure, defined as a composite of symptomatology persistence after 7 days of C/T treatment, infection recurrence, and/or all‐cause mortality within 30 days of follow‐up. Results and discussion96 episodes of C/T treatment were included, mostly consisting of targeted treatments (83.9%) for the following sources of infection: intra‐abdominal (22.6%), urinary tract (25.8%), skin and soft tissue (19.4%), hospital‐acquired pneumonia (14%), and other (6.4%). The most frequently isolated bacteria were carbapenem‐resistant (88, 94.6%). Clinical failure rate was 30.1%, due to persistent infection at day 7 (4.3%), recurrence of the initial infection (16.1%), or 30‐day all‐cause mortality (8.6%). Adverse events most frequently reported were Clostridium difficile infection (9%) and cholestasis (8%). What is new and conclusion C/T showed a favourable clinical profile for difficult‐to‐treat multidrug‐resistant and carbapenem‐resistant Gram‐negative infections, regardless of the source of infection..
