The ureidopenicillins (piperacillin, mezlocillin, and azlocillin), aztreonam, and thienamycin are new broad-spectrumβ-lactams with more potent antibacterial activity than the older cephalosporins and penicillins. However, therapy of severe infections with the ureidopenicillins alone is limited by the potential for emergence of resistant organisms, while monotherapy with aztreonam does not provide adequate coverage for Gram-positive aerobic organisms and anaerobes. In combination therapy with the aminoglycosides, the ureidopenicillins may be preferred to carbenicillin or ticarcillin in the treatment ofPseudomonas aeruginosainfections and in institutions with a high prevalence of carbenicillin or ticarcillin-resistant organisms. Doubleβ-lactam therapy with piperacillin plus either latamoxef (moxalactam) or ceftazidime may be advantageous in patients for whom aminoglycoside toxicity is a concern. Thienamycin is the most promising of the newβ-lactams for single-agent therapy of severe infections but may also be associated with the emergence of resistantP. aeruginosaduring monotherapy. In febrile granulocytopenic patients or other severely ill patients at risk of severeP. aeruginosainfections, thienamycin or another antipseudomonalβ-lactam should be combined with an aminoglycoside.
