β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination noninferior to piperacillin/tazobactam for pneumonia
In the treatment of adults with hospital-associated (HABP) or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), the β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam appears to be as good as piperacillin/tazobactam, with similar safety profiles, according to a phase III trial.
