Topical piperacillin/tazobactam for recalcitrant pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis.

Risk factors for piperacillin-tazobactam-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa among hospitalized patients.

Antimicrobial resistance is an emerging problem with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study determined risk factors for the recovery of piperacillin-tazobactam-resistant P. aeruginosa from clinical cultures from hospitalized patients. A case-control study design was used to compare two groups of case patients with control patients. The first group of case patients was defined by nosocomial isolatio...

In Vitro Activity of Colistin, Fosfomycin, and Piperacillin/tazobactam Against Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Songklanagarind Hospital, Thailand

In-Vitro Efficacy of Synergistic Antibiotic Combinations in Multidrug Resistant Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Strains

PURPOSE Combination antibiotic treatment is preferred in nosocomial infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). In vitro synergism tests were used to choose the combinations which might be used in clinic. The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic efficacy of synergistic antibiotic combinations in multidrug resistant P. aeruginosa strains. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...

Activity of ACHN-490 tested alone and in combination with other agents against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

ACHN-490 was tested alone and in combination with cefepime, doripenem, imipenem, or piperacillin-tazobactam in a synergy time-kill analysis against 25 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains with different resistance phenotypes. Each combination was synergistic against most isolates at 24 h, and antagonism was not observed. Combinations of ACHN-490 with cefepime, doripenem, imipenem, or piperacillin-taz...

Piperacillin-tazobactam for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection: clinical implications of an extended-infusion dosing strategy.

BACKGROUND Piperacillin-tazobactam is frequently used to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in critically ill patients. In an effort to improve clinical outcomes, an extended-infusion dosing scheme for piperacillin-tazobactam therapy was devised using a Monte Carlo simulation and was adopted into clinical practice at Albany Medical Center (Albany, New York). This study evaluates the clinic...
