NCT03925402
Brief Summary:
This study aims to assess whether ertapenem as an empiric treatment of third-generation-cephalosporin resistant Enterobacteriaceae (3GCRE) bacteremia is non-inferior to other carbapenems in term of 30-day mortality.
Detailed Description:
There are limited data of the efficacy of ertapenem as the empiric treatment of serious invasive infections, such as bloodstream infections (BSIs), that are due to ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Previous studies of ertapenem were done in small group of patients, in less invasive infection, as a definite 'step-down' therapy, or as compared to other non-carbapenem antibiotics.
