Pseudomonas aeruginosa relating infection has high mortality rate in health care setting. In particular, immunocompromised and critically ill patients. Recent studies suggested considering broad-spectrum antipseudomonal antibiotics for Gram-negative bacteria coverage in the emergency Department, especially for high-risk patients.
