Antibacterial Activity and Optimal Treatment of Ceftazidime-Avibactam and Aztreonam-Avibactam Against Bloodstream Infections Caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: This work was to investigate the activity and optimal treatments of ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) and aztreonam-avibactam (AZA) against bloodstream infections caused by carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (BSIs-CRKP). Methods: A total of 318 nonduplicate BSIs-CRKP isolates were collected from Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) program. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of CZA and AZA were determined by agar dilution method. Carbapenemase genes and multilocus sequence typing were amplified by PCR. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) was conducted to calculate cumulative fraction of response (CFR) of different CZA or AZA administrations. Results: The MIC₉₀ of CZA and AZA were 128/4 and 1/4 mg/L, respe
