  • Treatment of aspiration pneumonia is increasingly important due to an aging global population, and the effectiveness of tazobactam/piperacillin (TAZ/PIPC) for this condition is under investigation.
  • A study compared the clinical efficacy of TAZ/PIPC and imipenem/cilastatin (IPM/CS) in patients with moderate-to-severe aspiration pneumonia, finding no significant difference in overall outcomes.
