Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) infections are challenging to treat and associated with poor clinical outcomes. In this issue, sulbactam-durlobactam, a novel β-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitor, was used with cefiderocol to successfully treat CRAB pneumonia. While this report and in vitro data are encouraging, determining the impact of treatment regimens on clinical outcomes after CRAB infections is not straightforward. Therefore, careful evaluation in pathogen-directed randomized controlled trials is needed to determine the optimal treatment of CRAB infections.Entities:
