In Vitro Activities of Tigecycline (GAR-936) and 12 Other Antimicrobial Agents against 90 Eikenella corrodens Clinical Isolates

Abstract

The activity of tigecycline was compared with those of other antimicrobials against 90 isolates of Eikenella corrodens . The MIC at which 90% of the isolates were inhibited was 2 μg/ml for tigecycline and 1, ≤0.5/0.25, 0.5, ≤0.12, ≤2, and 0.5 μg/ml for ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, cefotaxime, imipenem, chloramphenicol, and ciprofloxacin, respectively.
