Combination eravacycline therapy for ventilator-associated pneumonia due to carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in patients with COVID-19: A case series.
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) pneumonia is associated with poor clinical outcomes and increased mortality. Clinical data regarding the optimal treatment of CRAB is limited, and combination therapy is often preferred. Eravacycline has demonstrated in-vitro activity against A. baumannii and has been considered for the treatment of pulmonary infections caused by CRAB.
Objective: The objective of this case series was to describe clinical outcomes associated with eravacycline when utilized as part of a combination regimen for the treatment of CRAB pneumonia at a county hospital.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted from April 1, 2020, to October 1, 2020, which included hospitalized patients ≥18 years of age, diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with a sputum culture positive for CRAB, and receipt of at least one dose of eravacycline. The primary outcome studied was clinical resolution of CRAB pneumonia. A key secondary outcome was microbiological resolution.
Results: A total of 24 patients received combination eravacycline therapy for a median of 10.5 days. Overall, 17 (71%) patients demonstrated clinical resolution of CRAB pneumonia. Repeat sputum cultures post-treatment were collected in 17 (71%) patients, of which 12 (71%) achieved microbiological resolution. No adverse events attributable to eravacycline were identified.
Conclusion: With limited viable salvage treatment options, combination eravacycline therapy showed favorable microbiological and clinical outcomes in patients with CRAB pneumonia. In light of this, eravacycline could be considered as a potential treatment option when designing CRAB pneumonia salvage therapy regimens.
