Abstract

Twenty patients with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections were treated with meropenem-vaborbactam. Thirty-day clinical success and survival rates were 65% (13/20) and 90% (18/20), respectively. Thirty-five percent of patients had microbiologic failures within 90 days. One patient developed a recurrent infection due to meropenem-vaborbactam-nonsusceptible, ompK36 porin mutant Klebsiella pneumoniae.
