The use of ceftolozane-tazobactam for MDR P. aeruginosa is rising 52% annually. Late initiation (median 14 days) leads to 30% failure and 17.5% mortality, while early use (≤48h) improves outcomes. Piperacillin-tazobactam was used in 15% of cases, with limited data. #AMR www.idse.net/Antibiotic-A...
