ZAVICEFTA®: As effective as a carbapenem in hospitalised patients with aerobic Gram-negative cIAIs15, cUTIs16 or HAP, including VAP17 

Overall Risk Factors

HAP/ VAP Patient Profile

cIAI Patient Profile

cUTI Patient Profile

In the face of growing antimicrobial resistance, treatment options are urgently needed for patients at risk of MDR Gram-negative infections7,8

Risk factors for MDR Gram-negative infections2-6

Identifying patients at risk of MDR Gram-negative infections is vital for appropriate selection of adequate, early antimicrobial therapy to reduce the risk of fatal outcomes.8

Early adequate antibacterial therapy is crucial for patients with serious Gram-negative infections8,9

Failure to treat early and appropriately can lead to fatal outcomes in patients with serious Gram-negative infections.8,9**Explore more
