Abstract Background Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) has been considered as a healthcare-associated infection with high mortality. Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most frequently isolated pathogens in hospitals worldwide, especially in critically ill patients who needed invasive mechanical ventilation. Acinetobacter ventilator associated pneumonia (AB-VAP) is associated with high case-fatality rates, reaching 70% in some studies, with controversy still existing on the ideal antimicrobial treatment. Methods We performed a descriptive, retrospective study. To meet the inclusion criteria, patients had to be adults admitted to the intensive care unit with VAP diagnosis treated with colistin monotherapy and isolation of Acinetobacter baumannii in lower respiratory tract samples as the sole pathogen between December 2016 and December 2023. We evaluated demographic variables, time between ICU admission and the clinical event, case-fatality rate and antimicrobial susceptibility profile. We calculated with RStudio the average (and standard deviation) or median (and interquartile range values) for quantitative variables and frequency for qualitative ones. The antimicrobial choice was influenced by local susceptibility patterns and the economic resources of our hospital. Results Data from 126 patients that met the inclusion criteria was analyzed. The mean age was 55.5 years (SD:16 years) and 68% were men. Median time between he ICU admission and VAP diagnosis was 14 days (per...
