Abstract
Carbapenem-resistantAcinetobacter baumannii has been associated with over three hundred thousand annual deaths globally. It is resistant to most available antibiotics and associated with high morbidity and mortality. No global consensus currently exists for treatment strategies that balance safety and efficacy because of heterogeneity of treatment regimens in current clinical practice and scarcity of large-scale controlled studies arising from difficulties in establishing robust clinical outcomes. This review outlines the epidemiology and resistance mechanisms of carbapenem-resistantA. baumannii, then summarizes available clinical data on each approved agent with activity against this pathogen. Emerging treatment options such as cefiderocol and sulbactam-durlobactam show promise, but their success hinges on comprehensive clinical validation and access in regions most impacted by this pathogen. New therapeutic modalities that are in various stages of clinical development are also discussed.
