Abstract

We assessed trends in treatment of patients with CRE from 2012 through 2018. We detected decreased utilization of aminoglycosides and colistin and increased utilization in extended-spectrum cephalosporins and ceftazidime-Avibactam. We found significant uptake of ceftazidime-Avibactam, a newly approved antibiotic, to treat CRE infections.
