Abstract
Introduction
The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of eravacycline against 173 anaerobic isolates and compare it with the activity of other antimicrobials used against infections caused by anaerobic microorganisms.
Methods
Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for eravacycline, delafloxacin, piperacillin–tazobactam, meropenem, clindamycin, metronidazole and amoxicillin–clavulanic acid were determined against 173 anaerobic bacterial isolates obtained from several types of human clinical specimens.
Results
MICs were lower for eravacycline than for all other antibiotics tested with the exception of delafloxacin against Bacteroides, Prevotella, Gram-positive anerobic cocci (GPACs) and Clostridium and piperacillin–tazobactam against Clostridium. Two (2.8%) isolates of Bacteroides spp. showed a MIC ≥ 4 μg/mL, along with two (22%) isolates of Phocaeicola spp. and two (11%) of GPACs.
Conclusions
With some exceptions, the present results show lower MICs for eravacycline in comparison to the other antibiotics used against anaerobes.
期刊介绍:
Hoy está universalmente reconocida la renovada y creciente importancia de la patología infecciosa: aparición de nuevos agentes patógenos, de cepas resistentes, de procesos con expresión clínica hasta ahora desconocida, de cuadros de una gran complejidad. Paralelamente, la Microbiología y la Infectología Clínicas han experimentado un gran desarrollo como respuesta al reto planteado por la actual patología infecciosa. Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica es la Publicación Oficial de la Sociedad Española SEIMC. Cumple con la garantía científica de esta Sociedad, la doble función de difundir trabajos de investigación, tanto clínicos como microbiológicos, referidos a la patología infecciosa, y contribuye a la formación continuada de los interesados en aquella patología mediante artículos orientados a ese fin y elaborados por autores de la mayor calificación invitados por la revista.
