Metallo-β-lactamase-producing carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MBL-CR-GNB), due to their capacity to hydrolyze almost all β-lactam antibiotics, have become a critical global threat in antimicrobial resistance. Current novel β-lactamase inhibitors (e.g., avibactam, relebactam, vaborbactam) only inhibit serine enzymes and are ineffective against metallo-β-lactamases (MBL), severely limiting clinical treatment options. Aztreonam (ATM) is inherently stable against MBL, while avibactam (AVI) inhibits co-produced serine β-lactamases (e.g., KPC, OXA-48). Their combination achieves complementary synergistic antibacterial effects. The ceftazidime-avibactam plus aztreonam (CZA+ATM) regimen, operating via the mechanism of "avibactam protecting aztreonam", has demonstrated synergistic bactericidal activity against NDM, VIM, IMP and other MBL-producers in multiple real-world and clinical
