Effect of polymyxin B-containing regimens on renal function for the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriacea mediastinitis This study was partially presented as a poster at that 55th ICAAC 2015, 17–21, 2015 San Diego, CA, and as an oral presentation (Abstract O-3) at the 2nd International Conference on Polymyxins 2015, September 22–24 San Diego – CA.

ABSTRACT

A retrospective cohort study, were evaluated: polymyxin B plus aminoglycosides or polymyxin B plus other antibiotics. Any degree of acute kidney injury occurred in 26 (86.6%) patients. The median time to acute kidney injury was 6.0 (95% CI 3–14) days in the polymyxin-aminoglycoside containing regimen group, against 27.0 (95% CI 6–42) days in the polymyxin with other antimicrobial combinations group (p = 0.03). Polymyxin B with aminoglycosides group progressed faster to any degree of renal dysfunction.
