In Vitro Activity of Minocycline against U.S. Isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii-Acinetobacter calcoaceticus species complex, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Burkholderia cepacia complex: Results from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program (2014-2018).

In Vitro Activity of Minocycline against U.S. Isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii-Acinetobacter calcoaceticus species complex, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Burkholderia cepacia complex: Results from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program (2014-2018). Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2019 Aug 19;: Authors: Flamm RK, Shortridge D, Castanheira M, Sader HS, Pfaller MA Abstract We evaluated the activity of minocycline and comparator agents against a large number of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (n = 1,289), Acinetobacter baumannii-Acinetobacter calcoaceticus species complex (n = 1,081), and Burkholderia cepacia complex (n = 101) collected during 2014 through 2018 from 87 U.S. medical centers spanning all nine census divisions. The isolates were collected primarily from hospitalized patients with pneumonia (1,632 isolates; 66.0% overall), skin and skin structure infections (354 isolates; 14.3% overall), bloodstream infections (266 isolates; 10.8% overall), urinary tract infections (126 isolates; 5.1% overall), intra-abdominal infections (61 isolates; 2.5% overall), and other infections (32 isolates; 1.3% overall). Against A. baumannii-A. calcoaceticus species complex, colistin was the most active agent exhibiting MIC50/90 values at ≤0.5/2 μg/ml and 92.4% susceptible. Minocycline ranked second in activity with MIC50/90 values at 0.25/8 μg/ml and susceptibility at 85.7%. Activity for these two agents was reduced against extensivel...
