ABSTRACT: Ceftazidime-Avibactam Resistance Development following Ceftazidime-Avibactam-based therapy in critically-ill patients with infections caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae
Project description:Emergence of Ceftazidime-Avibactam resistant KPC-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) during ceftazidime-avibactam-based antimicrobial treatment.
Project description:Using in vitro directed evolution, we show that mismatch repair-deficient Pseudomonas aeruginosa can engage novel resistance mechanisms to ceftazidime-avibactam.
