When comparing piperacillin/tazobactam with alternative treatments (cefepime or carbapenems), no significant difference in mortality rate was observed between the treatment groups (RR: 1.1; 95% CI: 0.76-1.58, p = 0.61), while an higher rate of microbiological failure (RR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.15-2.82, p = 0.01) and clinical failure (RR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.00-2.40, p = 0.05) was observed among patients receiving piperacillin/tazobactam. No difference was observed in microbiological and clinical failure rate among patients treated with cefepime or carbapenems, with a lower mortality rate in those receiving cefepime (RR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.59-0.94, p = 0.014).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Cefepime represents an excellent alternative to carbapenems for BSI due to AmpC-producing strains, whereas piperacillin/tazobactam is associated with a higher rate of clinical and microbiological failure. There is an urgent need for randomized clinical trials that aim to define the best carbapenem-sparing strategy in these infections.</p>","PeriodicalId":13600,"journal":{"name":"Infection","volume":" ","pages":"1141-1153"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142768382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
