Failure of ceftazidime/avibactam experimental therapy in the treatment of Klebsiella pneumoniae ST11 co-producing NDM-1 and OXA-48 carbapenemases infection.

Carbapenem-resistant organisms (CRO) represent a significant threat because of their widespread in hospital settings, difficult-to-treat, and association with high morbidity and mortality rates. Data on the efficacy of ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ-AVI) among patients infected with CRO in Iran are lacking. Herein, we report a case of a 91-year-old man with infection caused by extensively drug-resistant ST11 co-harbouring bla and bla strain from seven isolates.
