It is demonstrated that combinations of polymyxin B with tigecycline, imipenem, ceftazidime, or cefepime show promising therapeutic potential against KPC-producing CRKP.

Abstract

Objective: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infections often necessitate combination therapy, yet effective treatment options remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the bactericidal effects of polymyxin B–based combination therapy with ten representative antibiotics against KPC-producing CRKP
