Abstract:

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common opportunistic pathogen of nosocomial infection, which is widely distributed in the hospital environment and can survive for a long time. Carbapenems antibiotics play an important role in the treatment of serious infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, the outbreak of carbapenems resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is particularly prominent in recent years, which has made clinical treatment facing great challenges. This article introduces the main resistance mechanism of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to carbapenems antibiotics and summarizes the application of various clinical treatment schemes, and provides a reference clinical rational use of antibiotics and treatment of carbapenems resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection

Key words: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, carbapenem antibiotics, resistance mechanism, treatment
