Early Treatment Outcomes for Bloodstream Infections Caused by Potential AmpC Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales with Focus on Piperacillin/Tazobactam: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: The Gram-negative bacilli Serratia spp., Providencia spp., Morganella morganii, Citrobacter freundii complex, Enterobacter spp. and Klebsiella aerogenes are common Enterobacterales that may harbor inducible chromosomal AmpC beta-lactamase genes. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate treatment outcomes and identify predictors of early treatment response in patients with bloodstream infection caused by potential AmpC beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (SPICE-BSI). This cohort study included adult patients with SPICE-BSI hospitalized between 01/2011 and 02/2019. The primary outcome was early treatment response 72 h after the start of active treatment, defined as survival, hemodynamic stability, improved or stable SOFA score, resoluti
