Ceftolozane/tazobactam is a novel β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor combination with a broad spectrum of activity that includes Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of ceftolozane/tazobactam and relevant comparators versus a large collection of antimicrobial non-susceptible P. aeruginosa clinical isolates recovered from patients across Canada (CANWARD, 2008-16).
