In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

CRAB infections in ICUs are on the rise, leading to higher morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs due to resistance to most antibiotics, including carbapenems. The main resistance mechanisms include carbapenemases, efflux pumps, and changes in the bacterial cell wall. Current treatments include polymyxins (Colistin, Polymyxin B), which are effective but can lead to resistance, aminoglycosides (Amikacin, Gentamicin), which are limited by resistance, and tetracyclines (Tigecycline, Eravacycline), which are effective against CRAB. Fosfomycin is effective in combination treatments, and combination therapy (e.g., colistin with sulbactam, fosfomycin, or eravacycline) can enhance outcomes. Previous research shows promise for combination therapies, improving treatment efficacy and reducing mortality. New regimens are being studied to find optimal combinations.

Inclusion Criteria: * Surgical patients (abdominal, vascular, and polytraumatized patients) * Older than 18 years * Require postoperative treatment in the ICU * A positive sample (surveillance or diagnostic) for A. baumannii with signs of systemic infection Infection will be defined as a diagnostic microbiologically positive sample for A. baumannii and a surveillance microbiologically positive sample for A. baumannii with signs of systemic infection (elevated CRP, leukocytes, and body temperature). Colonization will be defined as a positive surveillance microbiological sample for A. baumannii in the absence of signs of systemic infection (normal CRP, leukocytes, and body temperature). Exclusion Criteria: * Allergy to the study medications * Positive surveillance swabs for A. baumannii without signs of systemic infection * Positive findings (surveillance or diagnostic) for carbapenem-sensitive A. baumannii * Refusal to participate in the research
