Introduction Acinetobacter baumannii complex (Abc) is currently a significant cause of difficult-to-treat pneumonia. Due to the high prevalence rates of carbapenem- and extensively drug-resistant (CR, XDR) phenotypes, limited antibiotic options are available for the effective treatment of pneumonia caused by CR/XDR-Abc. Areas covered In vitro susceptibility data, relevant pharmacokinetic profiles (especially the penetration ratios from plasma into epithelial-lining fluid), and pharmacodynamic indices of key antibiotics against CR/XDR-Abc are reviewed. Expert opinion Doubling the routine intravenous maintenance dosages of conventional tigecycline (100 mg every 12 h) and minocycline (200 mg every 12 h) might be recommended for the effective treatment of pneumonia caused by CR/XDR-Abc. Nebulized polymyxin E, novel parenteral rifabutin BV100, and new polymyxin derivatives (SPR206, MRX-8, and QPX9003) could be considered supplementary combination options with other antibiotic classes. Regarding other novel antibiotics, the potency of sulbactam-durlobactam (1 g/1 g infused over 3 h every 6 h intravenously) combined with imipenem-cilastatin, and the beta-lactamase inhibitor xeruborbactam, is promising. Continuous infusion of full-dose cefiderocol is likely an effective treatment regimen for CR/XDR-Abc pneumonia. Zosurabalpin exhibits potent anti-CR/XDR-Abc activity in vitro, but its practical use in clinical therapy remains to be evaluated. The clinical application of antimicrobial peptides and bacteriophages requires validation.
