Antimicrobial resistance profiles in multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in a university hospital in Argentina. Activity of new antibiotic combinations
Carla Alvarez, Juliana Bello, Carlos Vay, Ángela Famiglietti, Marcela Nastro, Hernán Rodríguez
Rev Argent Microbiol. 2026;58:36-9
Highlights

  • Ceftolozane/tazobactam was the most active combination against MDR P. aeruginosa.
