Staphylococcus aureus Tetracycline Resistance and Co-resistance in a Doxy-PEP-Eligible Population

medRxiv [Preprint]. 2024 Aug 22:2024.08.22.24312434. doi: 10.1101/2024.08.22.24312434.

Abstract

In Staphylococcus aureus infections in men eligible for doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy-PEP), tetracycline non-susceptibility is more prevalent than in the overall population and is associated with resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and clindamycin. Doxy-PEP may select for S. aureus multi-drug resistance, underscoring the importance of surveillance.
