Ceftolozane-tazobactam is considered to be a last-resort treatment for infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR)Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Although resistance to this antimicrobial has been describedin vitro , the development of resistancein vivo has rarely been reported. Here, we describe the evolution of resistance to ceftolozane-tazobactam ofP. aeruginosa isolates recovered from the same patient during recurrent infections over 2.5 years.
