Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Caused by Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in Vietnam: Antibiotic Resistance, Treatment Outcomes, and Colistin-Associated Adverse Effects

Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacteria (GNB) presents a serious clinical scenario, and there is disagreement regarding the role of colistin in treatment. This study aimed to characterize the antibiotic resistance of MDR GNB and ev...

description Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacteria (GNB) presents a serious clinical scenario, and there is disagreement regarding the role of colistin in treatment. This study aimed to characterize the antibiotic resistance of MDR GNB and evaluate the treatment outcomes and side effects of colistin in VAP patients caused by MDR GNB, particularly in Vietnam. Methods: A prospective cohort research was undertaken. We enrolled 136 intubated patients diagnosed with VAP according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2019. Sixty-six individuals with an isolated gram-negative bacterium (<i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>, <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>, or <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>) satisfied the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)’s criteria for multi-antibiotic resistance. Results: GNB resistance was categorized as 10.6% MDR, 63.6% XDR, and 25.8% PDR. GNB were resistant to β-lactams 80–100%, aminoglycosides 50–86.7%, fluoroquinolones 100% and colistin 2.8–20%. The 28-day mortality rate was 54.5%, and acute kidney injury occurred at 12.1%. There was no statistically significant difference in mortality rate between groups receiving regimens with or without colistin (58.3% and 73.3%, respectively; OR = 1.964; 95%CI 0.483–7.989). Neither was there a statistically significant difference in acute renal damage rate between groups receiving regimens with or without colistin (14.3% and 9.7%, respectively; OR = 1.556; 95%CI 0.34–7.121). Conclusions: GNB had a high rate of antibiotic resistance to most antibiotics. The addition of colistin to the medication did not show significant differences in renal toxicity or mortality, while colistin resistance was relatively low; larger studies need to be conducted.
