Clinical Efficacy and Influencing Factors of Oral Minocycline in the Treat-ment of Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Infection
Objective:To evaluate clinical efficacy of minocycline in the treatment of Carbapenem-re-sistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)infection,and analyze the related influencing factors.Methods:Clinical data of patients who were treated with minocycline orally in the General Hospital of Eastern The-ater Command from June 2023 to October 2023 was retrospectively collected,and the influencing factors of clinical efficacy were analyzed by logistic regression.Results:Eighty-three patients with confirmed or sus-pected CRAB infection and treated with minocycline orally were finally included.The clinical efficacy rate was 54.22%and the microbiological clearance rate was 49.40%.Logistic regression analysis showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of minocycline for CRAB ≥ 16 mg·L-1 was an independent risk factor for clinical efficacy and microbiological clearance(OR 0.08,95%CI 0.01-0.44,P=0.004;OR 0.10,95%CI 0.02-0.51,P=0.006).In addition,length of hospitalization>30 days was an independent risk fac-tor for microbiologic clearance(OR 0.34,95%CI 0.12-0.97,P=0.043;OR 0.08,95%CI 0.01-0.42,P=0.003).Conclusion:The study based on small sample size in a single center shows that clinical efficacy of oral minocycline in the treatment of patients with CRAB infection is limited.When the MIC of minocy-cline for CRAB is greater than or equal to 16mg·L-1,anti-infective clinical efficacy and microbiological clearance are significantly reduced.
