The invention relates to an improved therapy for treating resistant bacterial infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs) - producing strains in a warm-blooded animal, adjuvant step down therapy, and pharmaceutical compositions for such therapies. The invention also relates to a method for inhibiting bacterial resistance in ESBLs - producing strains so as to have better control over the therapy; achieve reduced hospital stay and adjuvant step down therapy so as to avoid recrudescence. In particular, the therapy includes antibacterial combination of cefepime with sulbactam via parenteral route, followed by oral third generation cephalosporin with a suitable β lactamase inhibitor.
