Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat, with treatment options urgently needed for patients at risk of MDR Gram-negative infections1,2cUTI pasient
Identifying patients at risk of MDR Gram-negative infections is vital for appropriate selection of adequate, early antimicrobial therapy to reduce the risk of fatal outcomes.2cUTI patient profile*Identifying patients with cUTI at high-risk of MDR Gram-negative infections.

Footnotes:*The example described here is not an actual patient, but rather a fictitious representation of a scenario for which ZAVICEFTA (ceftazidime–avibactam) could be considered.
†Avibactam does not inhibit class B enzymes (metallo-β-lactamases) and does not inhibit many class D enzymes.8
§To be used in combination with an antibacterial agent active against Gram-positive pathogens when these are known or suspected to be contributing to the infectious process.8
