| Main Objective: 1. Description of colistin intra-pulmonary and plasma pharmacokinetics in patients with HCAP, HAP, VAP or VAT sustained by MDR-GNB or XDR-GNB and treated with colistimethate sodium administered either intravenously or by intravenous and aerosol route. 2. To describe the safety of treatment with colistimethate sodium administered exclusively by parenteral route compared to treatment with colistimethate sodium administered both by parenteral route and aerosol.;Secondary Objective: 1. To describe the microbiological success in patients treated with colistimetate sodium exclusively intravenously and in those treated with colistimetate sodium both intravenously and aerosol. 2. To describe the clinical success (improvement of respiratory exchanges and / or radiographic images and / or laboratory parameters and / or thermal curve) of patients treated with colistimethate sodium exclusively by parenteral route and in those treated with colistimethate sodium parenterally and aerosol. 3. To describe the mortality of patients enrolled in the two arms of the study at the end-of-treatment (EOT), that is after a maximum of 14 days of therapy, and 14 days after EOT;Primary end point(s): Pharmacokinetic parameters obtained by measuring the colistin intrapulmonary and plasma concentration: AUC, Cmax, Tmax, T1 / 2, Volume of distribution and Clearance. 2. Description of the safety of the treatment, evaluating the appearance of any adverse event (AE), adverse reaction (ADR), serious adverse event (SAE) about: - renal function (plasma creatinine, creatinine clearance in 24 h) - the appearance of hypersensitivity reactions such as rash and angioedema; - the appearance of psychiatric disorders such as confusion, psychosis; - the appearance of neurotoxic effects such as paresthesia, dizziness, tingling at the extremities and the tongue, language disorder and imbalance of the autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular block to apnea. - the appearance, in patients treated also w | — |
