Abstract
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection causes significant mortality among patients with hematologic malignancies and hematopoietic-cell transplant recipients. Ceftolozane-tazobactam (C-T) is a novel therapeutic option for MDR-P. aeruginosa infections but clinical experience in these patients is limited. We report favorable clinical outcomes and lack of limiting toxicities using C-T monotherapy to treat invasive MDR-P. aeruginosa infections in these patient populations.Entities:
