Clinical outcomes following treatment of Enterobacter species pneumonia with piperacillin/tazobactam compared to cefepime or ertapenem.

In this retrospective study of patients with Enterobacter pneumonia, clinical cure with piperacillin/tazobactam was comparable to cefepime or ertapenem; however, a prospective trial with a larger population is needed to determine if definitive treatment with piperacillin/tazobactam is non-inferior to definitive treatment with cefepime or ertapenem.
