ObjectiveTo evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of tigecycline in combination with imipenem against multi-drug resistant and pan-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates, so as to discuss the feasibility of drug combination and provide the basis for clinical rational use of antimicrobial agents. MethodsSixteen multi-drug resistant and pan-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were collected between January and April in 2015 from all kinds of infected specimens of Nanjing Drun Tower Hospital. The protocol was designed by checkerboard method, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics was determined by microdilution broth method, and the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index was calculated according to MIC results. ResultsThe average value of MIC (MICG), MIC50, MIC90 of tigecycline and imipenem single were 1.73,1,4 μg·mL-1and 31.00,32,64 μg·mL-1. When tigecycline was combined with imipenem, MICG, MIC50, MIC90 of tigecycline and imipenem were 0.24,0.25,0.50 μg·mL-1and 8.16,8.00,16.00 μg·mL-1, respectively. Compared with the drug single use groups, MIC was significantly decreased in the drug combination group. In 6 strains (37.50%), synergy effect (FIC≤0.5) was observed, and in 10 strains (62.50%), additive effect (0.5<FIC≤1) was found. No negative and independent effects were shown. ConclusionBoth additive and synergistic action is observed when tigecyclineis combined with imipenem against multi-drug resistant and pan-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates. No negative and independent effects are shown. This combination use against multi-drug resistant and pan-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii may be an effective therapy for clinical treatment.

Acinetobacter baumannii has been increasingly reported as a significant causative organism of various nosocomial infections. Here we describe an outbreak of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) in the ICUs of a Korean university hospital, along with a successful outbreak control program. From October 2007 through July 2008, CRAB was isolated from 57 ICU patients. Nineteen patients were diagnosed as being truly infected with CRAB, four of whom were presumed to have died due to CRAB infection, producing a case-fatality rate of 21.1%. In surveillance of the environment and the healthcare workers (HCWs), CRAB was isolated from 24 (17.9%) of 135 environmental samples and seven (10.9%) of 65 HCWs. The pulsed field gel electrophoresis patterns showed that the isolates from patients, HCWs, and the environment were genetically related. Control of the outbreak was achieved by enforcing contact precautions, reducing environmental contamination through massive cleaning, and use of a closed-suctioning system. By August 2008 there were no new cases of CRAB in the ICUs. This study shows that the extensive spread of CRAB can happen through HCWs and the environmental contamination, and that proper strategies including strict contact precautions, massive environmental decontamination, and a closed-suctioning system can be effective for controlling CRAB outbreaks.

The dawn of a troubling post-antibiotic era likely is on the horizon, fuelled by a rise in bacterial resistance to existing antibiotic therapy alongside a waning pipeline of novel . Tigecycline, a new glycylcycline with an expanded broad spectrum of in vitro activity, was recently approved for the treatment of complicated skin and (cSSTIs) and complicated (cIAIs). This review will examine how tigecycline evades the common mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of tigecycline, and its spectrum of in vitro activity. The results of randomized clinical trials for the treatment of cSSTIs and cIAIs with tigecycline are also described, as is the patient safety and tolerability observed during these studies. Tigecycline monotherapy has been shown to be as effective as its comparators and, against a backdrop of rising bacterial resistance, the role for tigecycline in monotherapy of from Gram-positive, Gram-negative and anaerobic is a meaningful .

ABSTRACT The in vitro activities of tigecycline and selected antimicrobials were evaluated against a variety of multiple-drug-resistant clinical isolates, including extended-spectrum beta-lactamase- and/or metallo-beta-lactamase-producing gram-negative strains, colistin-resistant strains, vancomycin- and/or linezolid-resistant enterococci, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Tigecycline showed excellent activity against a collection of difficult-to-treat pathogens currently encountered in the hospital setting.

<h2 class="secHeading" id="section_abstract">Summary</h2><p id="">Institutional outbreaks caused by <em>Acinetobacter baumannii</em> strains that have acquired multiple mechanisms of antimicrobial drug resistance constitute a growing public-health problem. Because of complex epidemiology, infection control of these outbreaks is difficult to attain. Identification of potential common sources of an outbreak, through surveillance cultures and epidemiological typing studies, can aid in the implementation of specific control measures. Adherence to a series of infection control methods including strict environmental cleaning, effective sterilisation of reusable medical equipment, attention to proper hand hygiene practices, and use of contact precautions, together with appropriate administrative guidance and support, are required for the containment of an outbreak. Effective antibiotic treatment of <em>A baumannii</em> infections, such as ventilator-associated pneumonia and bloodstream infections, is also of paramount importance. Carbapenems have long been regarded as the agents of choice, but resistance rates have risen substantially in some areas. Sulbactam has been successfully used in the treatment of serious <em>A baumannii</em> infections; however, the activity of this agent against carbapenem-resistant isolates is decreasing. Polymyxins show reliable antimicrobial activity against <em>A baumannii</em> isolates. Available clinical reports, although consisting of small-sized studies, support their effectiveness and mitigate previous concerns for toxicity. Minocycline, and particularly its derivative, tigecycline, have shown high antimicrobial activity against <em>A baumannii</em>, though relevant clinical evidence is still scarce. Several issues regarding the optimum therapeutic choices for multidrug-resistant <em>A baumannii</em> infections need to be clarified by future research.</p>
MOFFATT JH, HARPERM, HARRISONP, et al.Colistin resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii is mediated by complete loss of lipopolysaccharide production[J]. , 2010, 54(12): 4971-4977.
Abstract Infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria represent a major global health problem. Polymyxin antibiotics such as colistin have resurfaced as effective last-resort antimicrobials for use against MDR Gram-negative pathogens, including Acinetobacter baumannii. Here we show that A. baumannii can rapidly develop resistance to polymyxin antibiotics by complete loss of the initial binding target, the lipid A component of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which has long been considered to be essential for the viability of Gram-negative bacteria. We characterized 13 independent colistin-resistant derivatives of A. baumannii type strain ATCC 19606 and showed that all contained mutations within one of the first three genes of the lipid A biosynthesis pathway: lpxA, lpxC, and lpxD. All of these mutations resulted in the complete loss of LPS production. Furthermore, we showed that loss of LPS occurs in a colistin-resistant clinical isolate of A. baumannii. This is the first report of a spontaneously occurring, lipopolysaccharide-deficient, Gram-negative bacterium.
FALAGAS ME, BLIZIOTIS IA, KASIAKOU SK, et al.Outcome of infections due to pandrug-resistant (PDR) Gram-negative bacteria[J]. , 2005, 5(6):24.
The increasing problem of infections due to multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria has led to re-use of polymyxins in several countries. However, there are already clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to all available antibiotics, including polymyxins. We present a case series of patients with infections due to pathogens resistant to all antimicrobial agents tested, including polymyxins. An isolate was defined as pandrug-resistant (PDR) if it exhibited resistance to all 7 anti-pseudomonal antimicrobial agents, i.e. antipseudomonal penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, monobactams, quinolones, aminoglycosides, and polymyxins. Clinical cure of the infection due to pandrug-resistant (PDR) Gram-negative bacteria, namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Klebsiella pneumoniae was observed in 4 out of 6 patients with combination of colistin and beta lactam antibiotics. Colistin, in combination with beta lactam antibiotics, may be a useful agent for the management of pandrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. The re-use of polymyxins, an old class of antibiotics, should be done with caution in an attempt to delay the rate of development of pandrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections.

LIM TP.In vitro activity of polymyxin B, rifampicin, tigecycline alone and in combination against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in singapore[J]. , 2011, 6(4): e18485.
Objective Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CR-AB) is an emerging cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. Combination therapy may be the only viable option until new antibiotics become available. The objective of this study is to identify potential antimicrobial combinations against CR-AB isolated from our local hospitals. Methods AB isolates from all public hospitals in Singapore were systematically collected between 2006 and 2007. MICs were determined according to CLSI guidelines. All CR-AB isolates were genotyped using a PCR-based method. Clonal relationship was elucidated. Time-kill studies (TKS) were conducted with polymyxin B, rifampicin and tigecycline alone and in combination using clinically relevant (achievable) unbound concentrations. Results 31 CR AB isolates were identified. They are multidrug-resistant, but are susceptible to polymyxin B. From clonal typing, 8 clonal groups were identified and 11 isolates exhibited clonal diversity. In single TKS, polymyxin B, rifampicin and tigecycline alone did not exhibit bactericidal activity at 24 hours. In combination TKS, polymyxin plus rifampicin, polymyxin B plus tigecycline and tigecycline plus rifampicin exhibited bactericidal killing in 13/31, 9/31 and 7/31 isolates respectively at 24 hours. Within a clonal group, there may be no consensus with the types of antibiotics combinations that could still kill effectively. Conclusion Monotherapy with polymyxin B may not be adequate against polymyxin B susceptible AB isolates. These findings demonstrate that in-vitro synergy of antibiotic combinations in CR AB may be strain dependant. It may guide us in choosing a pre-emptive therapy for CR AB infections and warrants further investigations.
