Evaluation of a hybrid antimicrobial restriction process at a large academic medical center [PDF]
We conducted a retrospective review of a hybrid antimicrobial restriction process demonstrating adherence to appropriate use criteria in 72% of provisional-only orders, in 100% of provisional orders followed by ID orders, and in 97% of ID-initiated ...

Resistance to Ceftazidime/Avibactam Plus Meropenem/Vaborbactam When Both are Used Together Achieved in Four Steps from Metallo-β-Lactamase Negative <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>. [PDF]
Serine β-lactamases are dominant causes of β-lactam resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Recently, this has driven clinical deployment of the β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor pairs ceftazidime/avibactam and meropenem/vaborbactam.

Genome characterization of a Klebsiella pneumoniae co-producing OXA-181 and KPC-121 resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam, meropenem/vaborbactam, imipenem/relebactam and cefiderocol isolated from a critically ill patient [PDF]
Objectives: : Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) represent a public health concern. The limited antimicrobial options against CPE have led to the development of novel antimicrobial molecules.
