Tigecycline Efflux as a Mechanism for Nonsusceptibility in <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>
10 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
Tigecycline has an extended spectrum of in vitro antimicrobial activities, including that against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter. After identifying bloodstream isolates of Acinetobacter with reduced susceptibilities to tigecycline, we performed a study to assess tigecycline efflux mediated by the resistance-nodulation-division-type transporter AdeABC. After exposure of two tigecycline-nonsusceptible isolates...
