abstract= The spread of antimicrobial resistance among members of the Enterobacteriaceae is a significant clinical threat. We report the treatment of pan-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteraemia with combination tigecycline and colistin in a 49-year-old male and review available therapeutic options. Despite a poor prognosis, the patient recovered, but remains colonized with the pan-resistant isolate.,
