Brief Summary

Carbepenem resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) , a major resistance concern during last decade and become the important focus of infection .

New and effective therapeutic strategies developed for the treatment of CRE positive patients like to increasing the doses of anti CRE agents and to combine these anti CRE infections .



AIM OF THE STUDY :

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE : see the SOFA score changes at zero hour and 48hours of starting the treatments



SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: See the microbiological eradication and mortality within 5th day starting the antibiotics.



METHODS AAND MATERIALS: Study will be conducted on 80 patients admitted in the icu/ccw of JNMCH,AMU,ALIGARH

Group A will receive meropenem(1gm 3 times daily ) and colistin (9MIU loadind followed by 2-3 MIU) while group B receive high dose tigecycline (200mg loadind followed by 100mg 2 times a day) and colistin



RESULT: To see changes in SOFA SCORE AFTER 48 HOURS OF STARTING THE ANTIBIOTICS COMBINATION AND SEE THE ERADICATION AND MORTALITY WITHIN 5TH DAY .
