Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2008/050580s040,050632s013lbl.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27334663

Aztreonam is the first monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotic (monobactam) originally isolated from Chromobacterium violaceum. Aztreonam has a high affinity for the protein-binding protein 3 (PBP-3) of aerobic gram-negative bacteria. Most of these organisms are inhibited and killed at low concentrations of the drug. Aztreonam must be administered as an intravenous or intramuscular injection (AZACTAM®), or inhaled (CAYSTON®). Aztreonam for injection is indicated for the treatment of the following infections caused by susceptible gram-negative microorganisms: urinary tract, lower respiratory tract, skin and skin-structure, intra-abdominal and gynecologic infections as well as for septicemia. Aztreonam for inhalation solution is indicated to improve respiratory symptoms in cystic fibrosis patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Urinary tract infections (adults): 0.5-1 g 2-3 times/day. Moderately severe systemic infections (adults): 1-2 g 2-3 times/day. Severe systemic or life-threatening infections (adults): 2 g 3-4 times/day. Maximum recommended dose for adults is 8 g per day. Mild to moderate infections (pediatric patients): 30 mg/kg 3 times/day Moderate to severe infections (pediatric patients): 30 mg/kg 3-4 times/day. Maximum recommended dose for pediatric patients is 120 mg/kg/day. Inhalation solution: one dose (one single use vial and one ampule of diluent) 3 times a day for 28 days.
