RESUMEN
Novel antimicrobials are needed to treat rising nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections. Using standard broth microdilution methods, 68 NTM isolates were tested against gepotidacin, a new, first-in-class, oral triazaacenaphthylene bacterial topoisomerase inhibitor. MICs varied (0.25 to >64 µg/mL) with the lowest being M. fortuitum complex (0.25-8 µg/mL), M. mucogenicum complex (1-2 µg/mL), M. kansasii (0.25-8 µg/mL), and M. marinum (4-16 µg/mL). Testing greater numbers of some species is suggested to better understand gepotidacin activity against NTM.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Various water-based heater-cooler devices (HCDs) have been implicated in nontuberculous mycobacteria outbreaks. Ongoing rigorous surveillance for healthcare-associated M. abscessus (HA-Mab) put in place following a prior institutional outbreak of M. abscessus alerted investigators to a cluster of 3 extrapulmonary M. abscessus infections among patients who had undergone cardiothoracic surgery. METHODS: Investigators convened a multidisciplinary team and launched a comprehensive investigation to identify potential sources of M. abscessus in the healthcare setting. Adherence to tap water avoidance protocols during patient care and HCD cleaning, disinfection, and maintenance practices were reviewed. Relevant environmental samples were obtained. Patient and environmental M. abscessus isolates were compared using multilocus-sequence typing and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Smoke testing was performed to evaluate the potential for aerosol generation and dispersion during HCD use. The entire HCD fleet was replaced to mitigate continued transmission. RESULTS: Clinical presentations of case patients and epidemiologic data supported intraoperative acquisition. M. abscessus was isolated from HCDs used on patients and molecular comparison with patient isolates demonstrated clonality. Smoke testing simulated aerosolization of M. abscessus from HCDs during device operation. Because the HCD fleet was replaced, no additional extrapulmonary HA-Mab infections due to the unique clone identified in this cluster have been detected. CONCLUSIONS: Despite adhering to HCD cleaning and disinfection strategies beyond manufacturer instructions for use, HCDs became colonized with and ultimately transmitted M. abscessus to 3 patients. Design modifications to better contain aerosols or filter exhaust during device operation are needed to prevent NTM transmission events from water-based HCDs.

BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium abscessus is the second most common nontuberculous mycobacterium respiratory pathogen and shows in vitro resistance to nearly all oral antimicrobials. M abscessus treatment success is low in the presence of macrolide resistance. RESEARCH QUESTION: Does treatment with amikacin liposome inhalation suspension (ALIS) improve culture conversion in patients with M abscessus pulmonary disease who are treatment naive or who have treatment-refractory disease? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: In an open-label protocol, patients were given ALIS (590 mg) added to background multidrug therapy for 12 months. The primary outcome was sputum culture conversion defined as three consecutive monthly sputum cultures showing negative results. The secondary end point included development of amikacin resistance. RESULTS: Of 33 patients (36 isolates) who started ALIS with a mean age of 64 years (range, 14-81 years), 24 patients (73%) were female, 10 patients (30%) had cystic fibrosis, and nine patients (27%) had cavitary disease. Three patients (9%) could not be evaluated for the microbiologic end point because of early withdrawal. All pretreatment isolates were amikacin susceptible and only six isolates (17%) were macrolide susceptible. Eleven patients (33%) were given parenteral antibiotics. Twelve patients (40%) received clofazimine with or without azithromycin as companion therapy. Fifteen patients (50%) with evaluable longitudinal microbiologic data demonstrated culture conversion, and 10 patients (67%) sustained conversion through month 12. Six of the 33 patients (18%) demonstrated mutational amikacin resistance. All were patients using clofazimine or clofazimine plus azithromycin as companion medication(s). Few serious adverse events occurred for ALIS users; however, reduction of dosing to three times weekly was common (52%). INTERPRETATION: In a cohort of patients primarily with macrolide-resistant M abscessus, one-half of the patients using ALIS showed sputum culture conversion to negative findings. The emergence of mutational amikacin resistance was not uncommon and occurred with the use of clofazimine monotherapy. TRIAL REGISTRY: ClinicalTrials.gov; No.: NCT03038178; URL: www.

Macrolides are a mainstay of therapy for infections due to nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Among rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM), inducible macrolide resistance is associated with four chromosomal 23S rRNA methylase (erm) genes. Beginning in 2018, we detected high-level inducible clarithromycin resistance (MICs of ≥16µg/mL) in clinical isolates of Mycobacterium chelonae, an RGM species not previously known to contain erm genes. Using whole-genome sequencing, we identified a novel plasmid-mediated erm gene. This gene, designated erm(55)P, exhibits <65% amino acid identity to previously described RGM erm genes. Two additional chromosomal erm(55) alleles, with sequence identities of 81% to 86% to erm(55)P, were also identified and designated erm(55)C and erm(55)T. The erm(55)T is part of a transposon. The erm(55)P allele variant is located on a putative 137-kb conjugative plasmid, pMchErm55. Evaluation of 133 consecutive isolates from 2020 to 2022 revealed 5 (3.8%) with erm(55). The erm(55)P gene was also identified in public data sets of two emerging pathogenic pigmented RGM species: Mycobacterium iranicum and Mycobacterium obuense, dating back to 2008. In both species, the gene appeared to be present on plasmids homologous to pMchErm55. Plasmid-mediated macrolide resistance, not described previously for any NTM species, appears to have spread to multiple RGM species. This has important implications for antimicrobial susceptibility guidelines and treatment of RGM infections. Further spread could present serious consequences for treatment of other macrolide-susceptible RGM. Additional studies are needed to determine the transmissibility of pMchErm55 and the distribution of erm(55) among other RGM species.

BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies massiliense (M. massiliense) is increasingly recognized as an emerging bacterial pathogen, particularly in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and CF centres' respiratory outbreaks. We characterized genomic and phenotypic changes in 15 serial isolates from two CF patients (1S and 2B) with chronic pulmonary M. massiliense infection leading to death, as well as four isolates from a CF centre outbreak in which patient 2B was the index case. RESULTS: Comparative genomic analysis revealed the mutations affecting growth rate, metabolism, transport, lipids (loss of glycopeptidolipids), antibiotic susceptibility (macrolides and aminoglycosides resistance), and virulence factors. Mutations in 23S rRNA, mmpL4, porin locus and tetR genes occurred in isolates from both CF patients. Interestingly, we identified two different spontaneous mutation events at the mycobacterial porin locus: a fusion of two tandem porin paralogs in patient 1S and a partial deletion of the first porin paralog in patient 2B. These genomic changes correlated with reduced porin protein expression, diminished 14C-glucose uptake, slower bacterial growth rates, and enhanced TNF-α induction in mycobacteria-infected THP-1 human cells. Porin gene complementation of porin mutants partly restored 14C-glucose uptake, growth rate and TNF-α levels to those of intact porin strains. CONCLUSIONS: We hypothesize that specific mutations accumulated and maintained over time in M. massiliense, including mutations shared among transmissible strains, collectively lead to more virulent, host adapted lineages in CF patients and other susceptible hosts.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria are emerging pathogens, yet data on the epidemiology and management of extrapulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria infections in orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) and ventricular assist device (VAD) recipients are scarce. We retrospectively reviewed records of OHT and VAD recipients who underwent cardiac surgery at our hospital and developed Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC) infection from 2013 to 2016 during a hospital outbreak of MABC linked to heater-cooler units. We analyzed patient characteristics, medical and surgical management, and long-term outcomes. Ten OHT patients and 7 patients with VAD developed extrapulmonary M. abscessus subspecies abscessus infection. The median time from presumed inoculation during cardiac surgery to the first positive culture was 106 days in OHT and 29 days in VAD recipients. The most common sites of positive cultures were blood (n = 12), sternum/mediastinum (n = 8), and the VAD driveline exit site (n = 7). The 14 patients diagnosed when alive received combination antimicrobial therapy for a median of 21 weeks, developed 28 antibiotic-related adverse events, and underwent 27 surgeries. Only 8 (47%) patients survived longer than 12 weeks after diagnosis, including 2 patients with VAD who experienced long-term survival after an explantation of infected VADs and OHT. Despite aggressive medical and surgical management, OHT and VAD patients with MABC infection experienced substantial morbidity and mortality.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) cause pulmonary disease in individuals without obvious immunodeficiency. This study was initiated to gain insight into the immunological factors that predispose persons to NTM pulmonary disease (NTMPD). Blood was obtained from 15 pairs of NTMPD patients and their healthy household contacts. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were stimulated with the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). A total of 34 cytokines and chemokines were evaluated in plasma and PBMC culture supernatants using multiplex immunoassays, and gene expression in the PBMCs was determined using real-time PCR. PBMCs from NTMPD patients produced significantly less interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), IL-18, IL-1α, and IL-10 than PBMCs from their healthy household contacts in response to MAC. Although plasma RANTES levels were high in NTMPD patients, they had no effect on IL-1ß production by macrophages infected with MAC. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and TWIK2 (a two-pore domain K+ channel) were impaired in response to MAC in PBMCs of NTMPD patients. A TLR2 inhibitor decreased all four cytokines, whereas a two-pore domain K+ channel inhibitor decreased the production of IL-1ß, IL-18, and IL-1α, but not IL-10, by MAC-stimulated PBMCs and monocytes. The ratio of monocytes was reduced in whole blood of NTMPD patients compared with that of healthy household contacts. A reduced monocyte ratio might contribute to the attenuated production of IL-1 family cytokines by PBMCs of NTMPD patients in response to MAC stimulations. Collectively, our findings suggest that the attenuated IL-1 response may increase susceptibility to NTM pulmonary infection through multiple factors, including impaired expression of the TLR2 and TWIK2 and reduced monocyte ratio. IMPORTANCE Upon MAC stimulation, the production of IL-1 family cytokines and IL-10 by PBMCs of NTMPD patients was attenuated compared with that of healthy household contacts. Upon MAC stimulation, the expression of TLR2 and TWIK2 (one of the two-pore domain K+ channels) was attenuated in PBMCs of NTMPD patients compared with that of healthy household contacts. The production of IL-1 family cytokines by MAC-stimulated PBMCs and MAC-infected monocytes of healthy donors was reduced by a TLR2 inhibitor and two-pore domain K+ channel inhibitor. The ratio of monocytes was reduced in whole blood of NTMPD patients compared with that of healthy household contacts. Collectively, our data suggest that defects in the expression of TLR2 and TWIK2 in human PBMCs or monocytes and reduced monocyte ratio are involved in the reduced production of IL-1 family cytokines, and it may increase susceptibility to NTM pulmonary infection.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections are increasing worldwide. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and the M. abscessus species are the most commonly cultured NTM and treatment options are limited, especially for the M. abscessus species. In this study, the in vitro activity of eravacycline, a new tetracycline derivative, was tested against 110 clinical isolates of NTM. MIC testing was performed as recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute against 60 isolates of rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM), of which ~70% were tetracycline resistant. These included M. abscessus subsp. abscessus (8 isolates), M. abscessus subsp. massiliense (5), M. chelonae (10), M. immunogenum (3), M. fortuitum group (20) including 12 doxycycline-resistant isolates, and M. mucogenicum group (10) including three doxycycline-resistant isolates. Due to trailing, eravacycline MICs were read at 80% and 100% inhibition. Eravacycline was active against all RGM species, with MIC50 ranges of ≤0.015 to 0.5 and ≤0.015 to 0.12 µg/mL for 100% and 80% inhibition, respectively. For M. abscessus subsp. abscessus, MIC50 values were 0.12 and 0.03 µg/mL with 100% and 80% inhibition, respectively. MICs for tigecycline were generally within 1 to 2 dilutions of the 100%-inhibition eravacycline MIC values. Fifty isolates of slowly growing mycobacteria (SGM) species, including 16 isolates of MAC, were also tested. While there was no trailing observed in most SGM, the eravacycline MICs were higher (MIC range of >8 µg/mL), except for M. kansasii and M. marinum which had MIC50 values of 1 µg/mL. This study supports further evaluation of eravacycline, including clinical trials for the development of RGM treatment regimens, especially for M. abscessus.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection is common in patients with structural lung damage. To address how NTM infection is established and causes lung damage, we established an NTM mouse model by intranasal inoculation of clinical isolates of M. intracellulare. During the 39-week course of infection, the bacteria persistently grew in the lung and caused progressive granulomatous and fibrotic lung damage with mortality exceeding 50%. Lung neutrophils were significantly increased at 1 week postinfection, reduced at 2 weeks postinfection and increased again at 39 weeks postinfection. IL-17A was increased in the lungs at 1-2 weeks of infection and reduced at 3 weeks postinfection. Depletion of neutrophils during early (0-2 weeks) and late (32-34 weeks) infection had no effect on mortality or lung damage in chronically infected mice. However, neutralization of IL-17A during early infection significantly reduced bacterial burden, fibrotic lung damage, and mortality in chronically infected mice. Since it is known that IL-17A regulates matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and that MMPs contribute to the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis, we determined the levels of MMPs in the lungs of M. intracellulare-infected mice. Interestingly, MMP-3 was significantly reduced by anti-IL-17A neutralizing antibody. Moreover, in vitro data showed that exogenous IL-17A exaggerated the production of MMP-3 by lung epithelial cells upon M. intracellulare infection. Collectively, our findings suggest that early IL-17A production precedes and promotes organized pulmonary M. intracellulare infection in mice, at least in part through MMP-3 production.

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has recently been used to investigate acquisition of Mycobacterium abscessus. Investigators have reached conflicting conclusions about the meaning of genetic distances for interpretation of person-to-person transmission. Existing genomic studies were limited by a lack of WGS from environmental M. abscessus isolates. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the core and accessory genomes of 26 M. abscessus subsp. abscessus isolates collected over 7 years. Clinical isolates (n = 22) were obtained from a large hospital-associated outbreak of M. abscessus subsp. abscessus, the outbreak hospital before or after the outbreak, a neighboring hospital, and two outside laboratories. Environmental M. abscessus subsp. abscessus isolates (n = 4) were obtained from outbreak hospital water outlets. Phylogenomic analysis of study isolates revealed three clades with pairwise genetic distances ranging from 0 to 135 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Compared to a reference environmental outbreak isolate, all seven clinical outbreak isolates and the remaining three environmental isolates had highly similar core and accessory genomes, differing by up to 7 SNPs and a median of 1.6% accessory genes, respectively. Although genomic comparisons of 15 nonoutbreak clinical isolates revealed greater heterogeneity, five (33%) isolates had fewer than 20 SNPs compared to the reference environmental isolate, including two unrelated outside laboratory isolates with less than 4% accessory genome variation. Detailed genomic comparisons confirmed environmental acquisition of outbreak isolates of M. abscessus subsp. abscessus. SNP distances alone, however, did not clearly differentiate the mechanism of acquisition of outbreak versus nonoutbreak isolates. We conclude that successful investigation of M. abscessus subsp. abscessus clusters requires molecular and epidemiologic components, ideally complemented by environmental sampling.

Recent studies have characterized a dominant clone (Clone 1) of Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies massiliense (M. massiliense) associated with high prevalence in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, pulmonary outbreaks in the United States (US) and United Kingdom (UK), and a Brazilian epidemic of skin infections. The prevalence of Clone 1 in non-CF patients in the US and the relationship of sporadic US isolates to outbreak clones are not known. We surveyed a reference US Mycobacteria Laboratory and a US biorepository of CF-associated Mycobacteria isolates for Clone 1. We then compared genomic variation and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mutations between sporadic non-CF, CF, and outbreak Clone 1 isolates. Among reference lab samples, 57/147 (39%) of patients with M. massiliense had Clone 1, including pulmonary and extrapulmonary infections, compared to 11/64 (17%) in the CF isolate biorepository. Core and pan genome analyses revealed that outbreak isolates had similar numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and accessory genes as sporadic US Clone 1 isolates. However, pulmonary outbreak isolates were more likely to have AMR mutations compared to sporadic isolates. Clone 1 isolates are present among non-CF and CF patients across the US, but additional studies will be needed to resolve potential routes of transmission and spread.

Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections are increasing globally. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and M. abscessus complex are the most commonly reported NTM. Oral treatment options are limited, especially for the M. abscessus complex. We tested delafloxacin, a new oral fluoroquinolone, against 131 isolates of NTM. Delafloxacin microdilution MICs were performed as recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute using cation adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth. The rapidly growing mycobacteria tested included M. abscessus subsp. abscessus (n = 16) and subsp. massiliense (n = 5), M. chelonae (n = 11), M. immunogenum (n = 5), M. fortuitum group (n = 13), M. porcinum (n = 7), M. senegalense (n = 7), M. mucogenicum group (n = 5), and M. goodii (n = 1). For the slowly growing NTM (SGM), M. avium (n = 16), M. intracellulare (n = 13), M. chimaera (n = 9), M. arupense (n = 5), M. simiae (n = 5), M. lentiflavum (n = 4), M. kansasii (n = 6), and M. marinum (n = 3) were tested. Delafloxacin was most active in vitro against the M. fortuitum and M. mucogenicum groups and M. kansasii, with MIC50 values of 0.12 to 0.5 µg/ml (MIC range, 0.001 to 4 µg/ml) compared to ≤0.06 to >4 µg/ml for ciprofloxacin and ≤0.06 to >8 µg/ml for moxifloxacin. For other SGM (including MAC), and the M. abscessus/M. chelonae, the delafloxacin MIC range was 8 to >16 µg/ml compared to ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin of 0.5 to >4 µg/ml and ≤0.06 to 8 µg/ml, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first MIC study with delafloxacin to use Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommended methods. This study illustrates the potential utility of delafloxacin in treatment of infections due to some NTM.

BACKGROUND: In the CONVERT study, treatment with amikacin liposome inhalation suspension (ALIS) added to guideline-based therapy (GBT) met the primary end point of increased culture conversion by month 6 in patients with treatment-refractory Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease (ALIS plus GBT, 29% [65/224] vs GBT alone, 8.9% [10/112]; P < .0001). RESEARCH QUESTION: In patients who achieved culture conversion by month 6 in the CONVERT study, was conversion sustained (negative sputum culture results for 12 months with treatment) and durable (negative sputum culture results for 3 months after treatment) and were there any additional safety signals associated with a full treatment course of 12 months after conversion? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Adults were randomized 2:1 to receive ALIS plus GBT or GBT alone. Patients achieving culture conversion by month 6 continued therapy for 12 months followed by off-treatment observation. RESULTS: More patients randomized to ALIS plus GBT (intention-to-treat population) achieved conversion that was both sustained and durable 3 months after treatment vs patients randomized to GBT alone (ALIS plus GBT, 16.1% [36/224] vs GBT alone, 0% [0/112]; P < .0001). Of the patients who achieved culture conversion by month 6, 55.4% of converters (36/65) in the ALIS plus GBT treated arm vs no converters (0/10) in the GBT alone arm achieved sustained and durable conversion (P = .0017). Relapse rates through 3 months after treatment were 9.2% (6/65) in the ALIS plus GBT arm and 30.0% (3/10) in the GBT alone arm. Common adverse events among ALIS plus GBT-treated patients (dysphonia, cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis) occurred mainly within the first 8 months of treatment. INTERPRETATION: In a refractory population, conversion was sustained and durable in more patients treated with ALIS plus GBT for 12 months after conversion than in those treated with GBT alone. No new safety signals were associated with 12 months of treatment after conversion. TRIAL REGISTRY: ClinicalTrials.gov; No.: NCT02344004; URL: www.clinicaltrials.gov.

BACKGROUND: We recently mitigated a clonal outbreak of hospital-acquired Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC), which included a large cluster of adult patients who developed invasive infection after exposure to heater-cooler units during cardiac surgery. Recent studies have detailed Mycobacterium chimaera infections acquired during cardiac surgery; however, little is known about the epidemiology and clinical courses of cardiac surgery patients with invasive MABC infection. METHODS: We retrospectively collected clinical data on all patients who underwent cardiac surgery at our hospital and subsequently had positive cultures for MABC from 2013 through 2016. Patients with ventricular assist devices or heart transplants were excluded. We analyzed patient characteristics, antimicrobial therapy, surgical interventions, and clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Ten cardiac surgery patients developed invasive, extrapulmonary infection from M. abscessus subspecies abscessus in an outbreak setting. Median time from presumed inoculation in the operating room to first positive culture was 53 days (interquartile range [IQR], 38-139 days). Disseminated infection was common, and the most frequent culture-positive sites were mediastinum (nâ =â 7) and blood (nâ =â 7). Patients received a median of 24 weeks (IQR, 5-33 weeks) of combination antimicrobial therapy that included multiple intravenous agents. Six patients required antibiotic changes due to adverse events attributed to amikacin, linezolid, or tigecycline. Eight patients underwent surgical management, and 6 patients required multiple sternal debridements. Eight patients died within 2 years of diagnosis, including 4 deaths directly attributable to MABC infection. CONCLUSIONS: Despite aggressive medical and surgical management, invasive MABC infection after cardiac surgery caused substantial morbidity and mortality. New treatment strategies are needed, and compliance with infection prevention guidelines remains critical.

Adverse events are frequent in nontuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease treatment, but evidence to support their management is scarce. An expert panel survey on management of adverse events shows consistent opinions on management of hepatoxicity, ocular toxicity, ototoxicity, tinnitus, and gastrointestinal upset. These opinions can provide assistance in individual patient management decisions.

Rationale: Patients with refractory Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease have limited treatment options. In the CONVERT study, amikacin liposome inhalation suspension (ALIS) added to guideline-based therapy (GBT) increased culture conversion rates versus GBT alone by Month 6. Limited data are available regarding >6-month treatment in a refractory population.Objectives: Evaluate 12-month safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ALIS+GBT.Methods: Adults with refractory MAC lung disease not achieving culture conversion by CONVERT Month 6 could enroll in this open-label extension (INS-312) to receive 590 mg once-daily ALIS+GBT for 12 months. Two cohorts enrolled: the "ALIS-naive" cohort included patients randomized to GBT alone in CONVERT, and the "prior-ALIS" cohort included those randomized to ALIS+GBT in CONVERT. Safety and tolerability of ALIS over 12 months (primary endpoint) and culture conversion by Months 6 and 12 were assessed.Results: In the ALIS-naive cohort, 83.3% of patients (n = 75/90) experienced respiratory treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and 35.6% (n = 32) had serious TEAEs; 26.7% (n = 24) achieved culture conversion by Month 6 and 33.3% (n = 30) by Month 12. In the prior-ALIS cohort, 46.6% of patients (n = 34/73) experienced respiratory TEAEs, and 27.4% (n = 20) had serious TEAEs; 9.6% (n = 7) achieved culture conversion by Month 6 (≤14 mo ALIS exposure) and 13.7% (n = 10) by Month 12 (≤20 mo ALIS exposure). Nephrotoxicity-related TEAEs and measured hearing decline were infrequent in both cohorts.Conclusions: In up to 20 months of ALIS use, respiratory TEAEs were common, nephrotoxicity and hearing decline were infrequent, and culture conversion continued beyond 6 months of therapy.Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02628600).

Infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasing globally. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and Mycobacterium abscessus complex are the most frequently encountered NTM, and oral treatment options are extremely limited for these pathogens, especially for the M. abscessus complex. In this study, the in vitro potency of omadacycline, a new tetracycline derivative, was tested against 111 isolates of NTM. MIC testing was performed as recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute against 70 isolates of rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM), of which >90% were tetracycline resistant. These included M. abscessus subsp. abscessus (20 isolates), M. abscessus subsp. massiliense (3), Mycobacterium chelonae (15 isolates), Mycobacterium immunogenum (7 isolates), the Mycobacterium fortuitum group, including six doxycycline-resistant isolates (12 isolates), and the Mycobacterium mucogenicum group, including four doxycycline-resistant isolates (10 isolates). Forty-one isolates of slowly growing mycobacteria (SGM), including 16 isolates of MAC, were also tested. Omadacycline was active against all RGM species, with MIC50 ranges of 0.004 to 0.25 and 0.06 to 1 µg/ml for 80% and 100% inhibition, respectively. For M. abscessus subsp. abscessus, MIC50s were 0.06 and 0.12 µg/ml with 80% and 100% inhibition, respectively. There was considerable trailing of the omadacycline endpoint with the RGM. MICs of tigecycline exhibited no trailing and were generally within 1 to 2 dilutions of the 100% inhibition omadacycline MICs. While there was no trailing observed in SGM, omadacycline MICs were higher (MIC range, 8 to >16 µg/ml; n = 41), as previously noted with tigecycline. This study supports further research of omadacycline, including clinical trials, for the treatment of RGM infections, especially M. abscessus.
