We report our clinical experience treating a 2-month-old infant with congenital diaphragmatic hernia who experienced prolonged bacteremia with complex (Bcc) despite conventional antibiotic therapy and appropriate source control measures. The infection resolved after initiation of ceftazidime-avibactam. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that the isolate most closely resembled and identified the mechanism of resistance that likely contributed to clinical cure with this agent. Ceftazidime-avibactam should be considered salvage therapy for Bcc infections if other treatment options have been exhausted.
我们报告了一例 2 个月大婴儿的临床经验,该婴儿患有先天性膈疝,尽管采用了常规抗生素治疗和适当的源头控制措施,但仍出现长时间的菌血症,且为复杂(Bcc)感染。在开始使用头孢他啶-阿维巴坦后,感染得到了治愈。全基因组测序显示,该分离株与最相似,并确定了可能导致该药物临床治愈的耐药机制。如果其他治疗方案已用尽,头孢他啶-阿维巴坦应被视为治疗 Bcc 感染的挽救疗法。
