We write with an update around the degradation profile and toxicity data of ceftolozane/tazobactam in elastomeric devices for continuous infusion via outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) that we published within your journal. In the study we tested the stability of ceftolozane/tazobactam at two clinically relevant concentrations following reconstitution and dilution in 0.9% sodium chloride in two different elastomeric devices, specifically in accordance with the requirements of the UK NHS Yellow Cover Document.
