“…To improve the rate of adequate EAT for OAI, we compared the number of OAI that would have been covered by a third-generation cephalosporin, cefepime, or imipenem instead of piperacillin-tazobactam ( Table 5 ). Not surprisingly, EAT using cefepime or imipenem as the beta-lactam provide a higher appropriateness than the one containing a third-generation cephalosporin (92%, 94.5%, and 78%, respectively), especially because of the narrow spectrum of third-generation cephalosporin compared to cefepime and imipenem ( 36 – 38 ).…”
