e6813th International Congress on Infectious Diseases Abstracts, Poster Presentations were: staphylococci (303), enterococci (67), streptococci (194), E. coli (141), other Enterobacteriaceae (132), H. influenzae (73), M. catarrhalis (56) and Acinetobacter (16). Interpretive criteria were those of the US-FDA as published in the product package insert.Results: Tigecycline MIC 50 and susceptibility rates among species were identical between sampled years and more potent than either tetracycline or minocycline. The MIC 90 range (mg/L)/% susceptible for ENT was 0.25-4/36-100 with lowest potency noted against Proteae. Amp-C (19-46%) and ESBL strains (4-12%) were tigecycline-susceptible (≤2 mg/L). Only 2 (E. faecalis) Gram-positive cocci (GPC; 0.3%) were tigecycline-non-susceptible at 2 mg/L. The MRSA and MR-coagulase-negative staphylococcal rates were 67 and 84%. No vancomycin-resistant enterococci and only one VISA strain was detected. H. influenzae (MIC 90 , 0.5 mg/L; 40% Bˇ-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant) and M. catarrhalis (MIC 90 , 0.25 mg/L) were inhibited by tigecycline, as were all Acinetobacters strains at ≤4 mg/L (bimodal MIC distribution). Tigecycline was not active against P. aeruginosa (MIC 90 , 32 mg/L).Conclusions: Using US-FDA breakpoints, tigecyclineresistant rates among Japanese isolates were nil for Enterobacteriaceae and only 0.3% for GPC. Tigecycline appears to be active against current pathogens from Japan including prevalent resistance phenotypes (extended-spectrum -lactamases, MRSA, penicillin-resistant pneumococci).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
