“…For all 16 of the strains tested, the tigecycline MICs ranged from 0.5 to 2 mg/liter, consistent with intermediate or resistant phenotypes. This is in contrast to the data presented by Fernandez-Roblas and colleagues, who recommended tigecycline as a good alternative for infections caused by non-C. diphtheriae corynebacteria (7). On the basis of the results presented in this study, we are of the opinion that tigecycline does not represent a good therapeutic option for the treatment of C. tuberculostearicum infections.…”

“…The conducted study characterizing resistance to antibiotics isolated from clinical material of different species of the genus Corynebacterium (Anderson et al, 2008;Fernandez-Roblas et al, 2009;Funke et al, 1997a;Funke et al, 1997b;Garcia-Bravo et al, 1996;Gomez-Garceset al, 2007;Martinem-Martinez et al, 1995;Otsuka et al, 2006;Roberts et al, 1992, Troxler R et al, 2001, Weiss et al, 1996 draw attention to the most frequently occuring mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics in this group of microorganisms. The results show participation of extrachromosomal genetic elements in transmission of resistance genes in both pathogenic and potentially pathogenic -opportunistic and typically nonpathogenic ones, e.g.…”

“…An analysis of sensistivity to antibiotics of a large group of strains of C. urealyticum, C. amycolatum, C. jeikeium, C. coyleae, C. striatum, C. aurimucosum and C. afermentans was conducted with assays using Etests (Fernandez-Roblas et al, 2009). The authors found that strains of all tested species were susceptible to glycopeptides, linezolid, chinupristin/dalphopristin and daptomycin, which was also confirmed in other studies (Funke et al, 1997a;Funke et al, 1997b).…”

“…La terapia combinada usando un macrólido (claritromicina tiene mejor actividad contra M. abscessus o M. chelonae) 9,25 o quinolonas (especialmente para M. fortuitum) 9,25 y un antimicrobiano parenteral (amikacina) mostró una actividad uniforme contra estos microorganismos, siendo la acción de cefoxitina e imipenem menos predecible 9,25 , pero recomendada para las infecciones graves.…”
