We performed susceptibility testing for eravacycline in comparison to 4 other antimicrobials against 10 , 40 , 44 , 20 , and 20 isolates. All eravacycline MICs were ≤0.25 μg/ml, except that for one isolate of , for which the MIC was 2 μg/ml. Eravacycline was markedly more potent than tetracycline, azithromycin, moxifloxacin, and clindamycin against all isolates tested, which included 37 macrolide, tetracycline, and/or fluoroquinolone-resistant organisms.

Article Synopsis
  • RamA is a crucial regulator in bacteria, enhancing resistance to tetracycline-class antibiotics by activating the operon responsible for multidrug resistance.
  • The deletion of RamA leads to significantly reduced transcription levels of this operon, while restoring RamA reinstates normal function.
  • The study highlights RamA's role in bacterial membrane stability and suggests potential pathways for developing new antimicrobial treatments against resistant strains.

When bacteria are tetracycline- or doxycycline-resistant, the ability of these bacteria to be susceptible to the other tetracyclines is not well defined. Consequently, gaining knowledge about the ability to infer Enterobacterales susceptibility to minocycline and third-generation tetracycline antibiotics from surrogates is vital. In this study, we show that tigecycline may be a reasonable surrogate from which clinicians can infer omadacycline and eravacycline susceptibilities, even in the presence of doxycycline and tetracycline resistance.

Therapeutic options for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CA-AB) are quite limited. Cefiderocol, a novel siderophore cephalosporin, has shown potent in vitro activity against CR-AB, and new tetracycline analogues such as eravacycline and omadacycline have been available in recent years. However, the synergism of cefiderocol with tetracycline analogues against CR-AB has not been well investigated.

Introduction: The rise in multidrug-resistant bacteria challenges clinical microbiology. Tigecycline, eravacycline, and omadacycline show promise against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales and Acinetobacter baumannii. This study evaluates their activity and resistance mechanisms.

Introduction: Eravacycline (ERV), a novel tetracycline derivative, exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, but data on the bacterial activity against Chinese bacterial isolates are very scarce. This study aims to evaluate the activity of eravacycline against the common Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria isolates in Guangdong, China.

Methods: The clinical isolates were collected from four centers between 1 November 2023 and 31 January 2024, and the susceptibility of eravacycline (MIC, MIC, and MIC) was determined using broth microdilution as a reference method and E-TEST strips to evaluate their consistency.
