In Vitro Activity of Ceftazidime/Avibactam Alone and in Combination With Fosfomycin and Carbapenems Against KPC-producing Klebsiella Pneumoniae.

KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumonia (KPC-Kp) represents a major therapeutic challenge in critically ill patients. Ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) is a new effective drug against KPC-Kp but, due to emerging resistant strains during monotherapy, the association with a second antibiotic has been advocated. Therefore, intravenous fosfomycin may be a possible choice for combination therapy.
