A scoring system to predict resistance to ceftolozane/tazobactam in respiratory isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Objectives: To develop a scoring system to predict resistance to ceftolozane/tazobactam in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from respiratory specimens.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the risk factors associated with resistance to ceftolozane/tazobactam. Patients with P.

The impact of hospital-specific guidelines on carbapenem use and patient outcomes in a setting for high endemicity with multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacilli.

Objective: This study aims to assess the impact of hospital-specific guidelines on the optimal utilization of carbapenems and to examine their effects on patient outcomes.

Design: Quasi-experimental study.

Setting: Tertiary care hospital in Turkey where infectious diseases (IDs) consultation and antibiotic approval are mandatory for carbapenem use.
