KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae gut decolonisation following ceftazidime/avibactam-based combination therapy: A retrospective observational study

KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) gut colonization is a major risk factor for developing systemic infections. Ceftazidime/avibactam could have a role as decolonization therapy in special situations PATIENTS AND METHODS: retrospective, observational, multicenter study.
