The combination therapy regimen yielded more presumptive treatment success by increasing the likelihood of an appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Additionally, inappropriate antimicrobial treatment, renal impairment, and bloodstream infection were associated with poor treatment outcomes in patients with CRAB nosocomial infections.
