In Vitro Susceptibility of Aztreonam-Vaborbactam, Aztreonam-Relebactam and Aztreonam-Avibactam Associations against Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Gram-Negative Bacteria

Antibiotics, 2023
Background: Despite the availability of new options (ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-relebactam, meropenem-vaborbactam and cefiderocol), it is still very difficult to treat infections caused by metallo-β-lactamase (MBLs)-producers resistant to aztreonam.
