Objectives Identify the role of older antimicrobial agents in the treatment of complicated infections Compare new agents approved for gram negative infections Discuss the role of bezlotoxumab for the prevention of C.difficile recurrence Describe the utility of long-acting agents for gram positive infections Gram Negative Resistance is Rising Resistance, Resistance, Resistance Among 3 rd Gen Cephalosporins K. pneumoniae Pseudomonas aeruginosa imipenem Rahal JJ.
