Omadacycline was tested against 21,000 bacterial isolates collected prospectively from medical centers in Europe and the United States during 2016. Omadacycline was active against Staphylococcus aureus (MIC50/MIC90, 0.12/0.25 mg/liter), including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA); streptococci (MIC50/MIC90, 0.06/0.12 mg/liter), including Streptococcus pneumoniae, viridans group streptococci, and beta-hemolytic streptococci; Enterobacteriaceae, including Escherichia coli (MIC50/MIC90, 0.5/2 mg/liter); Haemophilus influenzae (MIC50/MIC90, 1/1 mg/liter); and Moraxella catarrhalis (MIC50/MIC90, 0.25/0.25 mg/liter). Omadacycline merits further study in serious infections where resistant pathogens may be encountered.
