Ceftazidime-avibactam: Combination therapy versus monotherapy in the challenge of pneumonia caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae
Abstract
= 0.039). The 14-day clinical cure rate for the combination therapy group was 63.2 %, and the 14-day microbial cure rate was 77.9 %. Both of these statistics were notably greater than those observed in the monotherapy group. Furthermore, the multivariate logistic regression model indicated a significant link between combination therapy and a decrease in clinical failure. Carbapenems were noted to be the most effective class of concomitant agents. Our findings indicate that patients with pneumonia due to CRKP benefit from combination treatment of CZA rather than monotherapy; administering carbapenem in combination with CZA in the early stages could provide considerable survival benefits.
