PG - 189-201 LID - 10.1080/14787210.2023.2166931 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Ceftolozane-tazobactam is a novel cephalosporin/beta-lactamase inhibitor combination with activity against Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). We aimed to comprehensively evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of ceftolozane-tazobactam in treating GNB infections in adult patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were retrieved until August 2022. Randomized trials and non-randomized controlled studies evaluating ceftolozane-tazobactam and its comparators in adult patients with GNB infections were included. RESULTS: A total of 13 studies were included. Overall, patients receiving ceftolozane-tazobactam had significant advantages in clinical cure (odds ratio [OR], 1.62; 95% CI, 1.05-2.51) and microbiological eradication (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.19-1.71), especially in Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected patients. Ceftolozane-tazobactam had a significant advantage in clinical success or microbial eradication compared with polymyxin/aminoglycosides (PL/AG) or levofloxacin. There were no significant differences in adverse events (AEs), Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), and mortality between ceftolozane-tazobactam and comparators. Notably, ceftolozane-tazobactam showed a significantly lower risk of acute kidney injury compared with PL/AG. CONCLUSIONS: Ceftolozane-tazobactam showed excellent clinical and microbiological efficacy in treating GNB, especially P. aeruginosa-induced infections. The overall safety profile of ceftolozane-tazobactam was comparable to other antimicrobials, with no increased risk of CDI and obvious advantage over antibacterial agents with high nephrotoxicity.
