Background
- Gram-negative bacillus
- Multiple mechanisms of resistance:
- β-lactamases
- RND efflux pumps
- Altered LPS conferring polymixin resistance
- Gyrase mutations conferring fluoroquinolone resistance
Management
- Should be guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing
- Antibiotic options include:
- TMP-SMX (preferred, if susceptible)
- Ceftazidime and ceftazidime-avibactam
- Meropenem and imipenem
- Minocycline
