ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the efficacy of tigecycline combined with cefoperazone/sulbactam in the treatment of infections due to multiple drug resistant strains and pandrug-resistant acinetobacter baumannii, so as to guide the reasonable clinical medication.Methods A total of 16 cases of ventilator associated pneumonia caused by multiple drug resistant strains and pandrug-resistant acinetobacter baumannii treated in the First Hospital of Shijiazhuang from November 2012 to November 2014 were retrospectively analyzed, and the severity of the infection, clinical efficacy and mortality were observed.Results The multiple drug resistant strains and pandrugresistant acinetobacter baumannii were frequently detected in the 16 patients.Fifteen cases had been used other antibiotics before tigecycline, such as imipenem, cefoperazone/Shubatan, minocycline etc.The severity of underlying disease was assessed with the acute physiology and chronic health score(APACHE Ⅱ sore) within 24 h of admission, on the first day of tigecycline (TGC) therapy and after 7 days of TGC therapy.It showed that the average APACHE Ⅱ score were (25±6.0), (24.2±6.4) and (17.8±6.6) within 24 hours of admission(P＜0.01), on the first day of TGC therapy and after 7 days of TGC therapy.Thirty days after application of the TGC, the bacterial eradication rate was 56.25％ (9/16).The effective rate was 87.5％ (14/16).The failure rate was 12.5％ (2/16).Conclusion The effect of the tigecycline combined with cefoperazone/sulbactam on the clearance of the multiple drug resistant strains and pandrug-resistant acinetobacter baumanniiis is satisfied.
