Popis: Background Ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T) is a novel cephalosporin/beta-lactamase inhibitor combination developed for use against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative infections, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). C/T is approved for complicated urinary tract and intraabdominal infections as well as hospital-acquired/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonias. However, comprehensive clinical characterization of patients treated with C/T in non-FDA-approved indications is limited. Methods Patients ≥18 years who received C/T for ≥48 hours while hospitalized in 9 acute care centers in Houston, TX from January 2016 through September 2018 were included. Demographic, microbiologic, treatment and clinical outcome data were retrospectively collected by chart review. In patients who received multiple inpatient courses of C/T, only the first course with C/T was assessed. Results 210 patients met inclusion criteria: 58% were non-white, 35% were female and 13% were immunocompromised. Median age was 61 years (IQR, 48 to 69). Median Charlson comorbidity index was 5 (IQR, 2 to 6). At the onset of the index episode, a significant proportion of patients required intensive care unit admission (44%), mechanical ventilation (37%) and pressor support (22%). Respiratory sources were the most common (50%) followed by urine (15%). Positive cultures were documented in 93% of the cases and PA was found in 86%. Majority (95%) of PA which were MDR. C/T use was guided by susceptibility testing of the index isolate in ca. 52%. In 5.7% of cases, C/T was used to escalate therapy without any documented C/T-susceptible organism. Half (51%) of the cohort received initial dosing appropriate for renal function while 36% receiving a lower than recommended dose. Clinical success (i.e., recovery from infection-related signs and symptoms) occured in 77%. The in-hospital mortality rate in our cohort was 15% with 26 of 31 deaths deemed infection-related. Conclusion We report a large multicenter observational cohort that received C/T. A 77% clinical success with the use of C/T was documented. These data support the use of C/T in critically ill patients infected with MDR PA. Disclosures William R.
