Re-establishing the utility of tetracycline-class antibiotics for current challenges with antibiotic resistance

Abstract: The progressive increase in antibiotic resistance in recent decades calls for urgent development of new antibiotics and antibiotic stewardship programs to help select appropriate treatments with the goal of minimising further emergence of resistance and to optimise clinical outcomes. Three new tetracycline-class antibiotics, eravacycline, omadacycline, and tigecycline, have been approved within the past 15 years, and represent a new era in the use of tetracyclines. These drugs overcome the two main mechanisms … Show more

“…New or repurposed antibiotics with good efficacy and safety are the major route to solving this dilemma. Several novel tetracycline-class antibiotics have been applied to treat infections in recent years, while either in vitro or in vivo activity data for these tetracyclines against different RGM species remain scarce ( 27 29 ). Limited studies have evaluated the in vitro activities of ERC and OMC against a few clinical isolates of M. abscessus complex ( 30 , 31 ), whereas no such evaluation has been performed for SAC.…”

“…After obtaining the biopsy results, treatment options were weighed including administration of antibiotics with intracellular penetration capabilities due to the macrophage dysfunction associated with malakoplakia. Tigecycline was chosen due to the resistance profile of the patient's bacterial isolate and the mechanism of resistance compared to the other tetracyclines [14] . Ceftriaxone was also used to treat the patient as bacterial cultures showed sensitivity to this medication.…”

“…As most of the wound infections or biofilms are polymicrobial, it is recommended to manage them with wide-spectrum antibiotics. Tetracycline is a favorable drug with antimicrobial properties versus Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, is easily absorbed in all tissues, and has been widely used in the treatment of animal and human infections due to its efficiency, low side effects, and affordable cost . On the other hand, chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that exhibits activity against a wide range of bacteria.…”
