Increasing cases of carbapenem-resistan Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) infections have been observed globally where multi-drug resistance to CR-KP can make the infection difficult to treat. In recent years, the β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor, ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI), has been developed to treat complicated urinary tract infections and complicated intra-abdominal infections. CAZ-AVI is approved for children over 3-month old but has yet to be investigated for cases of osteomyelitis. Only three case reports exist in literature on the use of CAZ-AVI for CR-KP osteomyelitis in adults. In this report, we present an infant with primary hematogenous osteomyelitis and septic arthritis in the right shoulder following surgical treatment for a heart murmur. Bacterial isolation revealed a strain of CR-KP, which was successfully treated with CAZ-AVI after initial administration of imipenem-based treatments.
