Use of cefoperazone/sulbactam in neonates.

Background: Neonates are at high risk for nosocomial infections due to multidrug-resistant pathogens. The use of β-lactamase inhibitors in combination with β-lactam antibiotics broadens the antimicrobial spectrum. Cefoperazone/sulbactam is used in children but there are limited data on its usage in neonates.
