Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa remains challenging, despite the availability ceftolozane-tazobactam.

Drug resistance, dose selection, and source control are possible contributing factors. Ceftolozane-tazobactam susceptibility testing should precede therapy and consideration should be given to dosing selection.
