Summary

The study plans to randomize a total of 240 patients infected with Gram-negative bacterial pneumonia to receive beta-lactam (meropenem, cefepime, or piperacillin/tazobactam) continuous or intermittent infusion and collect baseline and regular follow-up respiratory cultures to assess the development of new resistance. The investigators will measure beta-lactam concentration to assess the impact of drug exposure on the bacterial resistance.
