We compared the in vitro susceptibility of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates collected before and after treatment-emergent resistance to ceftolozane-tazobactam. Median baseline and postexposure ceftolozane-tazobactam MICs were 2 and 64 μg/ml, respectively. Whole-genome sequencing identified treatment-emergent mutations in ampC among 79% (11/14) of paired isolates. AmpC mutations were associated with cross-resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam but increased susceptibility to piperacillin-tazobactam and imipenem. A total of 81% (12/16) of ceftolozane-tazobactam-resistant isolates with ampC mutations were susceptible to imipenem-relebactam.
