Brief Summary  

There is no clear “standard of care” antibiotic regimen for CRAB infections.  The current preferred approach for treating CRAB pneumonia in our intensive care unit is a combination of polymixin B with tigecycline or salbactam, depending on the physician choice. There is no data comparing the effectiveness of combination of Poymyxin B with sulbactam and Polymyxin B with Tigecyclline for CRAB pneumonia. Hence the need to conduct the study.
