Brief summary

Objective from this study to compare the clinical outcomes and safety between colistin and tigecycline for multi-drug resistant gram negative bacteria.

Detailed description

Study will be in Beni-Suef university hospital. Group I: 66 patients received intravenous colistin 300 mg colistin base activity (CBA) as loading dose, followed by 2.5-5mg/kg/day of CBA in 2 divided doses as a maintenance dose in intensive care unit to treat their MDR infection and group 2 contains 66 patients received intravenous tigecycline100 mg single dose as loading dose, followed by 25-50 mg every 12 hours maintenance dose in intensive care unit to treat their MDR infection
