Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria
From IDWiki
Background
- Defined by the European CDC1 as non-susceptibility to at least one agent in three or more categories of antimicrobials, with the categories varying by organism
- Refer to to multidrug-resistant organisms for specific
Management
- Ceftolozane-tazobactam (Zerbaxa)
- May be better for multidrug-resistance Pseudomonas (or at least more experience with it)
- Ceftazidime-avibactam: available through Special Access Program
- Adds coverage of some carbapenemases and AmpC
- Fosfomycin
- Colistin
- Cefiderocol: available through Special Access Program as well as preapproval by manufacturer
- Meropenem-vaborbactam: still awaiting Health Canada Drug Review
- Imipenem-relebactam (really imipenem-cilastatin-relebactam): still awaiting Health Canada Drug Review
