1 Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms Is Combination Therapy the Way to Go? Sutthiporn Pattharachayakul, PharmD Prince of Songkhla University, Thailand Outline Prevalence of anti-microbial resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii Anti-bacterial agents commonly used for A. baumannii infections Combination therapy for multi-drug resistant (MDR) A. baumanni In vitro and animal studies Clinical studies Antimicrobial resistance Prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among GNB is increasing especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii Pharmaceutical pipeline against MDR GNB is limited Antimicrobial resistance in gram negative bacilli MDR A. baumannii is the rapidly emerging pathogen in the health care setting worldwide MDR A. baumannii is the most difficult to treat antimicrobial resistant GNB Prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in A. baumannii US National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System ( ) CID 2009;49:s4-10 In vitro susceptibility of A. baumannii in Thailand % susceptibility Drugs Ceftazidime Cefoperazone Imipenem Ciprofloxacin Amikacin
