Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Colistin based triple antimicrobial combination therapy  patients having blood cultures or respiratory tract specimen cultures (including semi-quantitative and/or quantitative cultures of sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), endotracheal aspirate or pleural effusion) that grow MDR Acinetobacter baumannii, will be evaluated for potential participation in the study. Informed consent will be obtained from patient or legally authorized representative (LAR)prior to any further study activities. After obtaining written informed consent patients will be randomized to either the minocycline based combination group or the colistin based combination group.Colistin will be administered in the form of its intravenous prodrug, Colistimethate sodium. Colistin dose(9 million units as loading dose and then 4.5 million units q12h) will be diluted into 100 mL of normal saline and given twice a day infused as (IV) infusion over 1 hour.Meropenem 2gm will be given three times a day as intravenous infusion (over 3 hours) and Ampicillin Sulbactam 6gm will be given as intravenous infusion (over 4 hours) thrice a day in both the groups. Blood and sputum or endotracheal aspirate cultures will be obtained on the day 1,3,5,7,10,12th day or within 24 hours after the end of study therapy, unless microbiologic cure has already been demonstrated 
Intervention  Minocycline based triple antimicrobial combination therapy  patients having blood cultures or respiratory tract specimen cultures (including semi-quantitative and/or quantitative cultures of sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), endotracheal aspirate or pleural effusion) that grow MDR Acinetobacter baumannii, will be evaluated for potential participation in the study. Informed consent will be obtained from patient or legally authorized representative (LAR)prior to any further study activities. After obtaining written informed consent patients will be randomized to either the minocycline based combination group or the colistin based combination group.For loading dose in patients allotted to minocycline group, minocycline (200mg twice a day) will be loaded in syringe identical to colistin and infused over same time as loading dose of colistin and maintenance doses for both drugs will be given by reconstitution in 100 ml normal saline and both drugs will be loaded in identical syringes and given twice a day as (iv) infusion over 1 hour. Meropenem 2gm will be given three times a day as intravenous infusion (over 3 hours) and Ampicillin Sulbactam 6gm will be given as intravenous infusion (over 4 hours) thrice a day in both the groups. Blood and sputum or endotracheal aspirate cultures will be obtained on the day 1,3,5,7,10,12th day or within 24 hours after the end of study therapy, unless microbiologic cure has already been demonstrated.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Carbapenem resistant A. baumanni (CRAB) was ranked number one priority for antibiotic research and development by WHO. Rise in carbapenem resistance is leading  to increased usage of colistin, which eventually increases colistin resistance. Current guidelines recommend combined antimicrobial therapy for moderate to severe CRAB infection in ICU with high dose sulbactam being a component of combination therapy even if in vitro resistance is detected.

The triple antibiotic combination regimen has shown clinical and in vitro effectiveness in patients with CRAB infections(9).There is lack of studies exploring effectiveness of non colistin based antibiotics combination therapies for CRAB .Through this study we will try to compare effectiveness of non colistin based combination therapy for CRAB infections thereby preventing emergence of  resistance to  colistin. The primary aim of the study is comparison of treatment failure (defined as per protocol) with Minocycline versus Colistin Based Triple Antimicrobial Therapy for Carbapenem Resistant Acinetobacter Baumani Infection in Critical Care Unit
