Effect of colistin-tigecycline combination on colistin-resistant and carbapenem-resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> and <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>
Colistin resistance in carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens is a serious challenge in clinical settings. Our study showed that low concentration of colistin can be effective when combined with tigecycline. It presents the possibility of an available treatment option for antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
