Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CR, carbapenem-resistant; C/T, ceftolozane/tazobactam; ESBL, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase; MDR, multidrug-resistant; OIC, office infusion center.

All values represent number of patients (%) unless otherwise indicated.

Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was used for categorical variables, and Wilcoxon rank test for continues variables.

Due to immunosuppressive medication (chemotherapy, steroids, biologics) or underlying immune deficiency (cancer, AIDS, genetic disorder, autoimmune disease, organ transplant, CKD).

Including E. coli (n = 14), Klebsiella spp. (n = 4), Enterobacter cloacae (n = 3), Citrobacter koseri (n = 1).

Bivariate analysis indicated that patients with bone and joint infections were less likely to experience success compared with patients treated with ceftolozane/tazobactam for other infection types (72.7% vs 89.0%; P = .026).

Bivariate analysis indicated that patients with urinary tract infection were more likely to experience success compared with patients treated with ceftolozane/tazobactam for other infection types (96.6% vs 81.0%; P = .042).
