Ceftazidime therapy of infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy
M J MaslowJ J Rahal

Abstract

Sixteen patients with serious Gram-negative bacillary infections were treated with intravenous ceftazidime, 2 g every 8 h. The majority of patients had bacteraemia or pneumonitis or both. Ten patients were cured and six improved. Seven of ten patients infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa were cured, and three improved. No adverse reactions occurred. Four strains of Ps. aeruginosa became resistant to ceftazidime in patients who were cured or improved clinically. Ceftazidime is effective as single drug therapy for serious Gram-negative infections, including those due to Ps. aeruginosa.

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
