Ceftazidime-Avibactam Is Superior to Other Treatment Regimens against Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Bacteremia.

abstract：:The class A carbapenemase KPC-6 produces resistance to a broad range of β-lactam antibiotics. This enzyme hydrolyzes penicillins, the monobactam aztreonam, and carbapenems with similar catalytic efficiencies, ranging from 10(5) to 10(6) M(-1) s(-1). The catalytic efficiencies of KPC-6 against cephems vary to a greater...
