Combinations of Avibactam and Carbapenems Exhibit Enhanced Potencies Against Drug-Resistant <i>Mycobacterium Abscessus</i>

Abstract

Avibactam restores MICs of tebipenem, ertapenem and panipenem against M. abscessus to therapeutically achievable concentrations and raises the possibility of usefulness of these carbapenems to treat drug-resistant M. abscessus infections.
