Abstract

Selection of extended-spectrum mutations in narrow-spectrum oxacillinases (e.g., OXA-2 and OXA-10) is an emerging mechanism for development of in vivo resistance to ceftolozane-tazobactam and ceftazidime-avibactam in Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Detection of these challenging enzymes therefore seems essential to prevent clinical failure, but the complex phenotypic plasticity exhibited by this species may often lead to their underestimation.
