Abstract

The minocycline susceptibility of 3,856 isolates including Burkholderia, Achromobacter, Alcaligenes, Aeromonas, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia from the SENTRY surveillance (2014 to 2019) were analyzed. The susceptibilities of these species (%S) were Achromobacter spp. (n = 411; 92.6%), Burkholderia cepacia species complex (n = 199; 85.9%), Aeromonas spp. (n = 127; 99.2%), Chryseobacterium spp. (n = 59; 94.9%), Alcaligenes faecalis (n = 42; 88.1%), and S. maltophilia (n = 2,287; 99.5%). These data suggest that minocycline is a useful treatment option for infections caused by unusual Gram-negative pathogens.

Keywords: Achromobacter; Aeromonas; minocycline; surveillance.
