Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is one of the most difficult health care-associated infections to treat due to the ability of the organism to acquire a multitude of resistance mechanisms and express the multidrug resistance phenotype. Ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T), a novel β -lactam/ β -lactamase inhibitor combination, addresses an unmet medical need in patients with these multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa infections.
