| Core Tip |
Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex (ABC) may cause serious infections. As Acinetobacter species are resistant to many antimicrobials, treatment options for them are extremely limited. Knowing risk factors is important for colistin resistance since colistin seems to be the only remaining therapeutic option for the patients with pneumonia due to extensively drug resistant ABC. We aimed to investigate the risk factors for colistin resistance in ABC strains isolated from the patients with ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP). We also compared clinical response and the outcome between VAP patients due to colistin susceptible and resistant Acinetobacter sp. strains. Furthermore, different treatment combinations were evaluated. |
