Febrile neutropenia is a major complication in patients with acute leukemia or those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Understanding patient characteristics and susceptibility patterns in febrile neutropenia is essential for appropriate antimicrobial therapy. First-line agents should have Pseudomonas aeruginosa coverage, but with the increase in multi-drug resistant organisms, ceftazidime-avibactam has emerged as a new therapeutic option.

Background: MDR/XDR constitutes a difficult to treat bacteria in a number of infections as there are few therapeutic options. Promising drugs in such cases can be cefiderocol, aztreonam and ceftazidime/avibactam or meropenem/vaborbactam.
Case Presentation: A 72-year-old female patient with sepsis caused by KP NDM, OXA 48 was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, immediately after an emergency graftectomy (of a recently transplanted kidney) complicated with bleeding.

Objective: Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) is a novel -lactam/-lactamase inhibitor with activity against carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) that produce carbapenemase (KPC). In this study, we report the first cases of CZA resistance to develop during treatment of CRKP infections and identify the resistance mechanism.
Methods: APB/EDTA and NG-Test CARBA5 were used to detect the production of carbapenemase, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and conjugation experiment were used to identify potential resistance mechanisms of CZA-susceptible (HX1032) and -resistant (HX1192) isolates.

Objective: Hypervirulent and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (hv-CRKP) poses a serious threat to public health. Here, we analyse a case of systemic infection caused by a hv-CRKP, which ultimately led to the patient's death from sepsis. And a total of 30 CRKPs were analyzed to elucidate the molecular epidemiological features of CRKPs in the hospital, and to provide a basis for clinical anti-infective therapy.
