Absence of a High Level of Duplication of the Plasmepsin II Gene in Africa.

abstract：:Ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T) is a novel cephalosporin with in vitro activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa that is resistant to extended-spectrum penicillins and antipseudomonal cephalosporins. In order to assess the antimicrobial effect of C/T in treatment of Pseudomonas pneumonia, we investigated the pharmacokineti...
