Pharmacokinetic Assessment of Continuous Infusion Ceftolozane/Tazobactam for Drug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Left Ventricular Assist Device Driveline Infection

چکیده
Conclusion. Our findings suggest that the model can reasonably identify patients whose infections would be likely to be covered by cefazolin. Further, the majority of patients would have been covered by a narrower spectrum antibiotics than what they received. Research reported in this publication was supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the NIH under Award Number R01AI116975. Disclosures.

Ceftolozane/tazobactam: a novel antipseudomonal cephalosporin and β-lactamase-inhibitor combination
The management of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, continues to be a significant challenge to clinicians. Ceftolozane/tazobactam is a novel antibacterial and β-lactamase-inhibitor combination that has shown appreciable activity against wild-type Enterobacteriaceae and potent activity against P. aeruginosa. Moreover, ceftolozan...

Driveline infections and sepsis are amongst the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in a patient with a left ventricular assist device. In this case, we present a patient with a multi drug resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa driveline exit site infection. Initially, it was treated with dual antibiotics, followed by surgical debridement utilizing Dakin’s solution irrigation and standard n...

Mycotic pseudoaneurysm of aorta following cardiac surgery is rare but is highly fatal if it is unrecognized and untreated. Here, we report a case of a 45-year-old male patient who presented with rapidly progressive multiple pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta infected with multidrug resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 5 weeks after cardiac transplantation, on a background of prior brid...
متن کاملCeftolozane-tazobactam for the treatment of ventilator-associated infections by colistin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The use of colistin for the treatment of multiresistant bacteria has led to the emergence of colistin-resistant strains of Gram-negative bacilli. Treatment of infections caused by these pan-drug-resistant bacteria is difficult owing to the paucity of effective antibiotics. We report two cases of ventilator-associated respiratory infection caused by pan-drug-resistant, colistin-resistant Pseudom...
متن کاملCeftolozane-Tazobactam Pharmacokinetics in a Critically Ill Patient on Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration.
Extended-infusion ceftolozane-tazobactam treatment at 1.5 g every 8 h was used to treat multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a critically ill patient on continuous venovenous hemofiltration. Serum drug concentrations were measured at 1, 4, 5, 6, and 8 h after the start of infusion. Prefilter levels of ceftolozane produced a maximum concentration of drug (Cmax) of 38.57 μg/ml, concentra...
