Background and objective Bloodstream infections (BSIs) due to multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB) pose a significant global health threat amid rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) as a therapeutic option for these infections, addressing the urgent need for novel treatments. Materials and methods This study was conducted over one year in the Department of Microbiology, JSS Medical College and Hospital, Mysuru, India, and employed a laboratory-based prospective design. From a total of 376 positive blood cultures, 147 multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms were identified, and 100 were randomly selected for final analysis. Susceptibility testing via disk diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination was performed to evaluate CZA efficacy. Results
