Background Ceftolozane/tazobactam (TOL-TAZ) is a novel cephalosporin antibiotic combined with a known β-lactamase inhibitor. It has activity against some extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae and multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRPA). To date, little experience has been published on outcomes with TOL-TAZ for MDRPA infections in immunocompromised patients. Methods This was a retrospective study of adult patients (≥18 years) with an immunocompromising condition (solid-organ transplant; hematologic malignancy; solid tumors; metastatic cancer) at 20 academic medical centers who had microbiologically confirmed MDRPA isolated in culture and received TOL-TAZ for at least 24 hours. 30-day survival, in-hospital mortality, and the rates of microbiologic and clinical cure were assessed.

TOL-TAZ is a viable option for immunocompromised patients with MDRPA infections. Disclosures J. Gallagher, Achaogen: Consultant, Consulting fee.
