Methods: Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes of an Escherichia coli clinical isolate were analysed. Plasmid analysis included conjugation and selection on seven antibiotics examined by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, RFLP comparison, Southern hybridization, incompatibility group identification and shotgun sequencing.
In vitro activity of tigecycline against extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae and MRSA clinical isolates from Mexico: a multicentric study.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the effectiveness of tigecycline against ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae and MRSA, which are significant hospital-associated infections.
- More than 94% of the tested bacterial isolates were found to be susceptible to tigecycline.
- The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values indicated that tigecycline works well, especially at low concentrations (0.25 to 2 mg/L for ESBL bacteria and 0.125 mg/L for MRSA).
