Activity of ceftolozane/tazobactam against surveillance and ‘problem’ Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and non-fermenters from the British Isles [PDF]
Background: We assessed the activity of ceftolozane/tazobactam against consecutive isolates collected in the BSAC Bacteraemia Surveillance from 2011 to 2015 and against ‘problem’ isolates sent to the UK national reference laboratory from July 2015, when ...

Ceftolozane-tazobactam in nosocomial pneumonia
Ceftolozane is a potent antimicrobial against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including carbapenem-resistant and multidrug-resistant strains, and is also active against Enterobacteriaceae. It MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration) and MPC (mutant preventive concentration) are close together, allowing to avoid the mutant selection window specifically in the ...

Ceftolozane-tazobactam activity against phylogenetically diverse Clostridium difficile strains [PDF]
Ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T) is approved for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal and urinary tract infections and has varied activity against anaerobic bacteria. Here, we evaluate the activity of C/T against a phylogenetically diverse collection

The continued value of disk diffusion for assessing antimicrobial susceptibility in clinical laboratories: Report from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute Methods Development and Standardization Working Group [PDF]
Expedited pathways to antimicrobial agent approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have led to increased delays between drug approval and the availability of FDA-cleared antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) devices.

Failure of ceftolozane‐tazobactam salvage therapy in complicated pneumonia with lung abscess
Key Clinical Message Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa remains challenging, despite the availability ceftolozane‐tazobactam. We report a treatment failure with ceftolozane‐tazobactam salvage therapy for pneumonia complicated by lung abscess.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces a class C β-lactamase (e.g., PDC-3) that robustly hydrolyzes early generation cephalosporins often at the diffusion limit; therefore, bacteria possessing these β-lactamases are resistant to many β-lactam antibiotics.
