Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Carbapenem-resistant organisms have become major healthcare-associated pathogens and are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. CASES AND MANAGEMENTS: This case-series describes our experience with ceftazidime-avibactam in the treatment of six cases with carbapenem-resistant organisms in King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. After trying various combinations of antibiotic therapies without improvement, cases were treated with ceftazidime-avibactam. OUTCOMES: Five of the six achieved complete cure, both clinically and microbiologically.
