Minocycline shows antibacterial activity against A. baumannii clinical isolates worldwide, and exhibits synergistic bactericidal activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) A. baumanniiisolates when combined with other antibacterial agents. In retrospective studies, IV minocycline provided high rates of clinical success or improvement, and was generally well tolerated among patients with MDR or carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii infections.
