Purpose: Gram-negative resistance continues to rise with treatment options becoming more limited. Ceftazidime/avibactam was recently approved in the United States and Europe, which combines an established third-generation cephalosporin with a new, unique, non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor. This review conducts a thorough examination of structure, pharmacology, spectrum of activity, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, in vitro and clinical efficacy and safety/tolerability of ceftazidime/avibactam, as well as detailed future directions for the agent.

Article Synopsis
  • Neutropenia, a side effect of chemotherapy that increases infection risk, has led to the exploration of low bacterial diets (LBD) as a preventive measure against infection and related mortality in cancer patients.
  • The main aim of this review is to evaluate how effective LBDs are compared to control diets in preventing infections and reducing death rates due to infections in both adult and pediatric cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
  • The review includes a comprehensive search of multiple medical databases and conference proceedings to gather relevant studies and information on this topic.

Purpose: Multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacterial infections have emerged as a major threat in hospitalized patients. Treatment options are often inadequate and, as a result, these infections are associated with high mortality. A cephalosporin and a novel synthetic non-β-lactam, β-lactamase inhibitor, ceftazidime-avibactam, is approved for the treatment of serious infections caused by resistant gram-negative bacteria.
