Investigating Gram-negative bacilli isolates’ sensitivity to ceftazidime/avibactam

the results showed that ceftazidime avibactam inhibited 89.9% of the Enterobacteriaceae isolates, which was higher than the 80.3% of amikacin and the 85.1% of meropenem. Ceftazidime avibactam was effective against CRE isolates in 69.9% of cases and against MDR isolates in urine in 94% of cases, which was higher than the 40% of ceftriaxone and 94% of nitrofurantoin. The results show that ceftazidime avibactam can cure MDR and CRE infections, especially urinary tract infections, better than conventional antibiotics, which is a great help in the fight against increasing antibiotic resistance.
