53 Conclusions Increasing prevalence of XDR A. baumannii worldwide, exihibiting resistance to all ß-lactams, fluoroquinolones, and aminoglycosides XDR strains emerging within a few successful clonal complexes (EC I, EC II) Recent acquisition of resistance genes from various reservoirs (OXA-type carbapenemases, NDM, 16S RNA methylases ) Most strains remain susceptible to polymyxins (colistin) and tigecycline (breakpoints pending) XDR prompts clinicians to use of unorthodox drug combinations to treat XDR infections (colistin + rifampicin, colistin + carbapenem ).
