Then, the fractional inhibition concentration index (FICI) was calculated.Results: A total of 50 strains of CRKP were isolated, sputum and clean urine were the most common source of CRKP, and intensive care unit was the most common source department. More than 90% of CRKP strains were resistant to cefepime, ceftazidime, piperacillin/tazobactam, and cefoperazone/sulbactam. The rate of resistance to levofloxacin was high, but that to tobramycin, tigecycline, and compound sulfamethoxazole was low. In addition, MIC of Reduning plus polymyxin for CRKP was lower than that of Reduning or polymyxin alone. Among 50 strains of CRKP, FICI ≤ 0.5 was noted in 7 strains, 0.5 < FICI ≤ 1.0 in 43 strains, and none had FICI > 1.0. The results showed Reduning combined with polymyxin B exerted additive effect on CRKP and conferred synergistic effect on several strains of CRKP.Conclusion: Reduning has antibacterial effect on CRKP in vitro, and the addition of Reduning can reduce the dose of polymyxin in the treatment of CRKP.Keywords: Reduning, polymyxin, Carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, in vitro antibacterial activity
