Abstract

We present two cases of post-neurosurgical ventriculitis caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens successfully treated with high-dose ceftazidime/avibactam. The existence of a real-time clinical pharmacological advice program, by enabling the optimization of the PK/PD targets over time at the infection site, turned out to be very helpful.
