Evaluation of intravenous amoxicillin-clavulanate use in two Canadian hospitals.

ABSTRACT: We describe our experience with intravenous amoxicillin-clavulanate, which is new to the Canadian market. The majority of patients were successfully de-escalated from piperacillin-tazobactam or a carbapenem for respiratory infections or skin and soft tissue infections. Intravenous amoxicillin-clavulanate provides a good alternative in an era of rising Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistance.
