Pharmacokinetics of Aztreonam-Avibactam After Single- and Multiple-Dose Administration: A Phase 1, Open-Label Study in Healthy Chinese Participants and Ethnic Comparison with Non-Chinese Participants. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Combined treatment with aztreonam (an established intravenous antibiotic) and avibactam (a β‐lactamase inhibitor) has the potential to address the unmet need for safe and effective agents to combat infections caused by Gram‐negative bacteria producing metallo β‐lactamases (MBLs).

Recent Developments to Cope the Antibacterial Resistance via β-Lactamase Inhibition
Antibacterial resistance towards the β-lactam (BL) drugs is now ubiquitous, and there is a major global health concern associated with the emergence of new β-lactamases (BLAs) as the primary cause of resistance.

The increase in nosocomial infections by beta-lactamase producing Gram-negative bacilli constitutes a therapeutic challenge. The combination of ceftazidime-avibactam offers a very interesting therapeutic option for nosocomial pneumonia caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
