AUC: area-under-the-curve; CAZ-AVI: ceftazidime-avibactam; CI: continuous infusion; Cmin: trough concentrations; Css: steady-state concentration; EI: extended infusion; HAP: hospital-acquired pneumonia; ICU: intensive care unit; LD: loading dose; MIC: minimum inhibitory concentration; PK/PD: pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic; VAP: ventilator-associated pneumonia. Green box: achievement of optimal PK/PD targets (or microbiological eradication for microbiological outcome); yellow box: achievement of quasi-optimal PK/PD targets; red box: achievement of suboptimal PK/PD targets (or microbiological failure for microbiological outcome).
