Monitoring Ceftazidime-Avibactam and Aztreonam Concentrations in the Treatment of a Bloodstream Infection Caused by a Multidrug-Resistant Enterobacter sp. Carrying Both Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase–4 and New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase–1

In an infection with an Enterobacter sp. isolate producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase-4 and New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase-1 in the United States, recognition of the molecular basis of carbapenem resistance allowed for successful treatment by combining ceftazidime-avibactam and aztreonam. Antimicrobial synergy testing and therapeutic drug monitoring assessed treatment adequacy.
