This study systematically evaluated its clinical efficacy and safety of ceftolozane/tazobactam for gram-negative bacterial (GNB) infections.
Clinical studies on ceftolozane/tazobactam for GNB infections were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and WanFang databases from inception to April 2025. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4.1.
Twenty-two studies involving 5 728 patients were included. Ceftolozane/tazobactam demonstrated superior clinical efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections compared to control drugs (OR=1.61; 95% CI: 1.07-2.42; I2=60%; P=0.02) and significantly higher bacterial eradication rates (OR=1.27; 95% CI: 1.05-1.55; I2=11%; P=0.01). No significant differences were observed in adverse event rates (OR=0.90; 95% CI: 0.70-1.15; I2=55%; P=0.40), serious adverse event rates (OR=0.83; 95% CI: 0.53-1.29; I2=73%; P=0.40), or all-cause mortality (OR=0.92; 95% CI: 0.78-1.10; I2=0%; P=0.37).
For GNB infections, ceftolozane/tazobactam exhibits non-inferior clinical efficacy and safety to comparator drugs with higher bacterial eradication rates. It may represent a preferred alternative for Pseudomonas aeruginosa nfections.
