ABSTRACT
In 2015, ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) was approved for the treatment of complicated
infections: urinary, intra-abdominal and hospital-acquired pneumonias caused by
multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli. Its approval for pediatric use was in 2019.
Despite its initial effectiveness, resistance to CZA has been increasing, reaching 10%
globally. This article provides a comprehensive review of the mechanisms of action
of CZA. The main resistance mechanism to this antimicrobial, such as mutations in
KPC carbapenemase and extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), overexpression
of efflux pumps, and porin modification, are detailed. Experimental research is
also reviewed to understand the causes of this phenomenon and the emergence of
resistance during treatment with CZA is highlighted, underlining the importance of
the epidemiology of this resistance to determine the cases in which CZA is the best
therapeutic option.
