Abstract
KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) gut colonisation is a major risk factor for developing systemic infection. Ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) may have a role as decolonisation therapy in special situations. This was a retrospective, observational, multicentre study. The KPC-Kp gut decolonisation rate of CAZ/AVI-based therapy (Group A) was compared with other antimicrobial regimens (Group B) in patients with KPC-Kp infection. Among 12 patients in Group A, 11 (91.7%) achieved gut decolonisation. None of the 24 patients of Group B were decolonised. CAZ/AVI-based therapy could be useful in KPC-Kp gut decolonisation in high-risk patients.
