We report the case of a 22-year-old mother with no medical history, admitted for gram-negative meningitis, identified as , 15 days after spinal anaesthesia. She was initially treated with dual antibiotic therapy, consisting of ceftazidime (2g three times a day) and amikacin. The first lumbar puncture (LP) performed 10 days approximately after the beginning of the treatment found no bacterial growth on the CSF culture.

Understanding the changes in the prevalence of common uropathogens is essential for early diagnosis and effective treatment of UTIs. This study aims to identify etiological agents and determine the local antibiotic susceptibility patterns of uropathogens causing UTIs.

Metagenomic sequencing deepened our knowledge about the role of the intestinal microbiota in human health, and several studies with various methodologies explored its dynamics during antibiotic treatments. We compared the impact of four widely used antibiotics on the gut bacterial diversity. We used plasma and fecal samples collected during and after treatment from healthy volunteers assigned to a 5-day treatment either by ceftriaxone (1 g every 24 h through IV route), ceftazidime/avibactam (2 g/500 mg every 8 h through IV route), piperacillin/tazobactam (1 g/500 mg every 8 h through IV route) or moxifloxacin (400 mg every 24 h through oral route).

Background: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by KPC-producing (KPC-Kp) are still associated with high mortality, and the game-changing drug ceftazidime/avibactam has shown suboptimal pharmacokinetics in some clinical settings. Ceftazidime/avibactam renal dose adjustment has recently been identified as an independent risk factor for mortality.
Objectives: To investigate the effect of ceftazidime/avibactam renal dose adjustment on mortality.
