Due to limited treatment options for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CR-AB) infections, antibiotic combinations are now considered potential treatments for CR-AB. This study aimed to explore the utility of fosfomycin-sulbactam combination (FOS/SUL) therapy against CR-AB isolates.Synergism of FOS/SUL against 50 clinical CR-AB isolates were screened using the checkerboard method. Thereafter, time-kill studies against two CR-AB isolates were performed. The time-kill data were described using a semi-mechanistic pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model. Monte Carlo simulations were then performed to estimate the probability of stasis, 1-log kill and 2-log kill after 24-hours with combination therapy.The FOS/SUL combination demonstrated a synergistic effect against 74% of isolates. No antagonism was observed. The MIC50 and MIC90 of FOS/SUL were decreased four- to eight-fold, compared to the monotherapy MIC50 and MIC90 In the time-kill studies, the combination displayed bactericidal activity against both isolates and synergistic activity against one isolate, at the highest clinically achievable concentrations. Our PK/PD model was able to describe the interaction between fosfomycin and sulbactam in vitro Bacterial kill was mainly driven by sulbactam, with fosfomycin augmentation. FOS/SUL regimens that included sulbactam 4 g every 8 hours, demonstrated a probability of target attainment of 1-log10 kill at 24 h of ∼69-76%, as compared to ∼15-30% with monotherapy regimens at the highest doses.The reduction in the MIC values and the achievement of a moderate PTA of a 2-log10 reduction in bacterial burden demonstrated that FOS/SUL may potentially be effective against some CR-AB infections.
