Synergistic combination of aztreonam and ceftazidime/avibactam against resistant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia on pancreatitis

Conclusions: There are sparse data providing guidance on the optimal regimen against MDRS. maltophilia infections. Although in this case a surgical excision was essential, combination of ATM and CZA provided effective synergistic antimicrobial treatment with clinical cure of severe acute pancreatitis infected withS. maltophilia. The combined disk pre-diffusion test with ATM and CZA requires no special equipment and can be routinely performed in clinical microbiology labs. Combination of ATM with CZA should be considered for cases of MDRS. maltophilia infections with limited treatment options.
