The emergence of clinical resistance to tigecycline

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2013
Tigecycline (TIG) exhibits broad-spectrum activity against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. However, clinical resistance has emerged recently and has been detected following treatment with TIG. This observation suggests that long-term monotherapy may carry a high risk for TIG resistance.

Development mechanism of resistant population post-exposure to tigecycline in tigecycline-heteroresistant Acinetobacter baumannii strain

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2023
Tigecycline heteroresistance is highly prevalent in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates, reducing the efficacy of tigecycline treatment. This study investigated the population dynamics of A. baumannii with tigecycline heteroresistance to determine the origin of resistance that occurs over time after antibiotic exposure.

RshA mutations contributing to tigecycline resistance in Mycobacteroides abscessus

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2022
Tigecycline is an important rescue antibiotic for many bacterial infections. In Mycobacteroides abscessus , tigecycline resistance has been associated with dysregulated stress response caused by aberrations in the interaction of the SigH and RshA factors.

Establishing the role of tigecycline in an era of antimicrobial resistance

Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2008
Tigecycline is a glycylcycline antibacterial agent derived from minocycline with a broad spectrum of activity. Like tetracycline agents, it inhibits bacterial protein synthesis but is able to bind to target sites with higher affinity and overcome tetracycline-resistance mechanisms due to structural modifications.

Tigecycline therapy in pediatric patients with multidrug resistant bacteremia

Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica, 2020
Multidrug resistance among bacteria increases the need for new therapeutic options. Tigecycline is one candidate drug, due to property of a wider anti-bacterial spectrum to multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens. However, it has still not been approved for use in pediatric patients.In this study the effectiveness and safety of tigecycline in children was

Rapid Development of Acinetobacter baumannii Resistance to Tigecycline

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 2007
A 53‐year‐old woman experienced a multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii urinary tract infection 5 months after undergoing kidney and liver transplantation. The tigecycline minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for her A. baumannii isolate was 1.5 μg/ml; the patient received 2 weeks of therapy with intravenous tigecycline as a 100‐mg ...
