Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen that often causes infections in patients in the intensive care unit. An ICU patient was diagnosed with a ventilator-associated Acinetobacter baumannii infection. Initial susceptibility analysis indicated that minimum inhibitory concentrations for various antibiotics were; amoxycillin MIC >256 μg/mL, ampicillin plus clavulanic acid MIC > 256 μg/mL, imipenem MIC <0.5 μg/mL, tigecycline MIC 10 μg/mL, amikacin MIC > 64 μg/mL and colistin MIC < 0.5 μg/mL.

Initial treatment failed and upon rechecking the MIC analyses, the isolated strain showed an MIC for colistin of 64 μg/mL. The pmrA, pmrB and pmrC genes were sequenced in both the colistin-sensitive parent and also in the newly colistin-resistant strain. This analysis identified a mutation in pmrB that would result in an amino acid change in PmrB compared to the sensitive parent.

What do you predict the role of this mutation is in the observed colistin resistance?

A Gram-negative bacterial population of 108 colony forming units (CFU) was treated with a high concentration of a carbapenem antibiotic. To determine the number of surviving cells at particular times, culture samples were plated on antibiotic-free medium and the number of viable cells determined. After 2 hours the number of viable cells was 104 CFU. After 4 hours the number of surviving cells was 8 x 103 CFU and after 10 hours there was 5 x 103 CFU.

What would be a good option for eradication of this surviving population?
