Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for Authors
Dear authors, I have read your manuscript Treatment of Carbapenem-resistant Acinectobacter baumannii in real-life (T-ACI): a prospective single center observational study, and these are my comments and suggestions:
General: Write "Acinetobacter baumannii" in italics throughout the manuscript.
Title (Lines 1-4): What do you mean by "T-ACI"? I'm not sure it will be clear to the reader. The abbreviation is not used elsewhere in the manuscript.
Lines 28-29: Change to "Patients treated with an initial cefiderocol-based regimen showed a higher rate of ECS..." (it's either "a higher rate" or "higher rates").
Lines 31-32: Change to "No differences in OCS rates ...".
Lines 32-33: This sentence seems to be contradictory to what you said before. Please clarify.
Line 38: Change to "..., supporting the use of cefiderocol in clinical practice."
Lines 282-284: Change to "This difference was attributed to several factors, one of which was the very low life expectancy of the patients with CRAB infections included in the study."
Line 292: Is the abbreviation "ECS" referring to Effective Clinical Success or early clinical success as mentioned in line 24?
Lines 304-306: What kind of differences in clinical cure were these? Please specify.
Line 306: Change "emergent" to "emerged".
