Omadacycline and eravacycline are newly approved tetracycline analogues with excellent activity against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms; however, no data are available regarding Helicobacter pylori. The susceptibility of 201 clinical isolates of H. pylori collected in China to omadacycline, eravacycline, and the comparator tetracycline was determined by an agar dilution method. They showed greater activity than tetracycline. The MIC values of omadacycline, eravacycline, and tetracycline were 0.125/0.25 μg/mL, 0.063/0.125 μg/mL, and 0.25/1 μg/mL, respectively. Omadacycline and eravacycline were potent in vitro against all the isolates tested, including tetracycline-resistant strains, and warrant further investigation as potential antibiotics for H. pylori treatment.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • Tetracyclines are widely used antibacterial drugs, but their adverse effects (AEs) had not been systematically analyzed until this study, which utilized the FDA's FAERS database from 2004 to 2023.
  • The research identified 15,020 cases and calculated signal values for various AEs linked to different tetracycline drugs, with notable findings such as doxycycline causing gastrointestinal issues and minocycline linked to skin pigmentation changes.
  • The study highlighted previously unreported AEs like ototoxicity, along with psychiatric effects from doxycycline and concerns related to tumors from minocycline, suggesting that awareness of these risks should be increased among healthcare providers and patients.

Infections due to drug-resistant strains are increasing and cause significant morbidity and mortality, especially in hospitalized and critically ill patients. rapidly develops resistance to numerous antibiotics, and antibiotics traditionally used against this deadly pathogen have been failing in recent years, highlighting the need to identify new treatment strategies. Treatment options that have shown promise include revisiting common antibiotics not typically used against , evaluating new antibiotics recently introduced to market, and identifying combinations of antibiotics that display synergistic interactions.
