Objective To investigate the effect of different antibacterial agents combined with tigecycline in patients with multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB)-related ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and to provide options for better treatment of the disease in clinical practice. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of the patients with MDRAB-related VAP who were admitted from January 2016 to August 2023 in Qingdao municipal Hospital, and according to the treatment regimen, they were divided into tigecycline group (group A) with 56 patients, cefoperazone-sulbactam combination therapy group (B group) with 42 patients, and carbapenem combination therapy group (group C) with 24 patients. The three groups were compared in terms of infection and related outcome measures. Results There were no significant diffe-rences in the type of pathogene infected and infection sites between the three groups (P>0.05). Groups B and C had a significantly higher bacterial clearance rate
