Ceftolozane-Tazobactam Activity Against Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from ICU Patients with Pneumonia: United States, 2015-2018

Hospital-associated infections (HAI) remain important causes of morbidity and mortality, especially among individuals hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) (Jernigan et al., 2020, Vincent et al., 2020, Weiner-Lastinger et al., 2020). In the ICU, respiratory tract infections such as hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), ventilated hospital-acquired pneumonia, (vHAP), and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) are the most common nosocomial infections and frequently involve Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
