RESUMEN
Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, is among the most likely bacterial pathogens to be used in a biological attack. Inhalation anthrax is a serious, life-threatening form of infection, and the mortality from acute inhaled anthrax can approach 100% if not treated early and aggressively. Food and Drug Administration-approved antibiotics indicated for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) or treatment of anthrax are limited. This study assessed the in vitro activity and in vivo efficacy of omadacycline and comparators against clinical isolates of B. anthracis, including a ciprofloxacin-resistant isolate. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of omadacycline, ciprofloxacin, and doxycycline were determined against animal and human clinical isolates of B. anthracis, including the ciprofloxacin-resistant Ames strain BACr4-2. Mice were challenged with aerosolized BACr4-2 spores, and survival was monitored for 28 days post-challenge. Treatment was initiated 24 h after aerosol challenge and administered for 14 days. Omadacycline demonstrated in vitro activity against 53 B. anthracis isolates with an MIC range of ≤0.008-0.25 µg/mL, and an MIC50/MIC90 of 0.015/0.03 µg/mL. Consistent with this, omadacycline demonstrated in vivo efficacy in a PEP mouse model of inhalation anthrax caused by the Ames BACr4-2 ciprofloxacin-resistant B. anthracis isolate. Omadacycline treatment significantly increased survival compared with the vehicle control group and the ciprofloxacin treatment group. As antibiotic resistance rates continue to rise worldwide, omadacycline may offer an alternative PEP or treatment option against inhalation anthrax, including anthrax caused by antibiotic-resistant B. anthracis.
RESUMEN
Infections due to drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains are increasing and cause significant morbidity and mortality, especially in hospitalized and critically ill patients. A. baumannii rapidly develops resistance to numerous antibiotics, and antibiotics traditionally used against this deadly pathogen have been failing in recent years, highlighting the need to identify new treatment strategies. Treatment options that have shown promise include revisiting common antibiotics not typically used against A. baumannii, evaluating new antibiotics recently introduced to market, and identifying combinations of antibiotics that display synergistic interactions. In this study, we characterized the antibiotic susceptibility profiles of extensively (XDR) and pandrug-resistant (PDR) A. baumannii patient isolates. We examined the potency of 22 standard-of-care antibiotics and the newer antibiotics eravacycline, omadacycline, and plazomicin against these strains. Furthermore, we examined combinations of these antibiotics against our collection to identify synergistic effects. We found that this collection is highly resistant to most or all standard-of-care antibiotics, except for minocycline and rifampin. We show that eravacycline and omadacycline are effective against these strains based on minimum inhibitory concentrations. We also identified two highly effective combinations, cefepime and amikacin and cefepime and ampicillin-sulbactam, which exhibited high rates of synergy against this collection. This information is valuable in our battle against highly drug resistant and virtually untreatable A. baumannii infections.
RESUMEN
Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) relationships for efficacy were evaluated using data from omadacycline-treated patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) enrolled in two phase 3 studies. Patients received omadacycline 100 mg intravenously (IV) every 12 hours for two doses, followed by 100 mg IV every 24 hours (q24h), with the option to switch to 300 mg oral (PO) q24h after 3 days or 450 mg PO q24h for two doses, followed by 300 mg PO q24h for a total duration of 7-14 days. Clinical response was evaluated at 48-72 hours [early clinical response (ECR)], end of treatment (EOT), and 7-14 days after EOT. Using a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model and PK data from patients with Staphylococcus aureus at baseline, omadacycline free-drug plasma area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) values were determined, and the relationships between free-drug plasma AUC:MIC ratio and dichotomous efficacy endpoints were evaluated. Using these relationships, the population PK model, simulation, and an omadacycline MIC distribution for S. aureus, mean percent probabilities of response were evaluated. Statistically significant PK--PD relationships were identified for ECR (P = 0.016 and 0.013 for optimized two- and three-group free-drug plasma AUC:MIC ratios, respectively). At an MIC value of 0.5 µg/mL, percent probabilities of model-predicted success for ECR based on the univariable PK-PD relationships using continuous and two-group free-drug plasma AUC:MIC ratio variables were 91.9 and 95.6%, respectively, for the IV-to-PO dosing regimen and 89.3 and 88.4%, respectively, for the PO-only dosing regimen. These data support for omadacycline IV-to-PO and PO-only dosing regimens for ABSSSI and an omadacycline susceptibility breakpoint of 0.5 µg/mL for S. aureus.
RESUMEN
Omadacycline and eravacycline are gradually being used as new tetracycline antibiotics for the clinical treatment of Gram-negative pathogens. Affected by various tetracycline-inactivating enzymes, there have been reports of resistance to eravacycline and omadacycline in recent years. We isolated a strain carrying the mobile tigecycline resistance gene tet(X4) from the feces of a patient in Zhejiang Province, China. The strain belongs to the rare ST485 sequence type. The isolate was identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The MICs of antimicrobial agents were determined using either the agar dilution method or the micro broth dilution method. The result showed that the isolate was resistant to eravacycline (MIC = 32 mg/L), omadacycline (MIC > 64 mg/L), and tigecycline (MIC > 32 mg/L). Whole-genome sequencing revealed that the tet(X4) resistance gene is located on the IncFII(pCRY) conjugative plasmid. tet(X4) is flanked by ISVsa3, and we hypothesize that this association contributes to the spread of the resistance gene. Plasmids were analyzed by S1-nuclease pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (S1-PFGE), Southern blotting, and electrotransformation experiment. We successfully transferred the plasmid carrying tet(X4) to the recipient bacteria by electrotransformation experiment. Compared with the DH-5α, the MICs of the transformant L3995-DH5α were increased by eight-fold for eravacycline and two-fold higher for omadacycline. Overall, the emergence of plasmid-borne tet(X4) resistance gene in a clinical isolate of K. pneumoniae ST485 underscores the essential requirement for the ongoing monitoring of tet(X4) to prevent and control its further dissemination in China.IMPORTANCEThere are still limited reports on Klebsiella pneumoniae strains harboring tetracycline-resistant genes in China, and K. pneumoniae L3995hy adds a new example to those positive for the tet(X4) gene. Importantly, our study raises concerns that plasmid-mediated resistance to omadacycline and eravacycline may spread further to a variety of ecological and clinical pathogens, limiting the choice of medication for extensively drug-resistant bacterial infections. Therefore, it is important to continue to monitor the prevalence and spread of tet(X4) and other tetracyclines resistance genes in K. pneumoniae and diverse bacterial populations.
RESUMEN
Treatment outcomes for Mycobacteroides abscessus (Mab, also known as Mycobacterium abscessus) disease are still unsatisfactory, mainly due to issues with drug toxicity, tolerability, and efficacy. Treating Mab disease is challenging due to its high baseline antibiotic resistance, initial requirement for intravenous therapy, and poor medication tolerance. Omadacycline, a new tetracycline, is active against Mab. Since any new antibiotic effective against Mab is expected to be used in combination with other antibiotics, we evaluated the efficacy of two triple-drug combinations comprising omadacycline, omadacycline + amikacin + imipenem, and omadacycline + clofazimine + linezolid against two contemporary Mab clinical isolates in a mouse model of Mab lung disease. Antibiotic administration was initiated 1-week post-infection and was given daily, with Mab burden in the lungs at treatment completion serving as the endpoint. Omadacycline alone moderately reduced Mab levels and maintained better health in mice compared to untreated ones, which typically suffered from the infection. The omadacycline + clofazimine + linezolid combination showed immediate bactericidal activity and enhanced efficacy over 6 weeks, particularly against the more resistant strain (M9507). However, the clofazimine + linezolid combination lacked early bactericidal activity. When combined with amikacin and imipenem, omadacycline did not improve the regimen's effectiveness over 4 weeks of treatment. Our study showed that omadacycline + clofazimine + linezolid exhibited significant bactericidal activity over an extended treatment duration. However, adding omadacycline to amikacin and imipenem did not improve regimen effectiveness against the evaluated clinical isolates within 4 weeks. Further research in Mab disease patients is needed to determine the most effective omadacycline-containing regimen.IMPORTANCEMycobacteroides abscessus is a common environmental bacterium that causes infections in people with compromised lung function, including those with bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and weakened immune systems, especially among older individuals. Treating M. abscessus disease is challenging due to the limited effectiveness and toxicity of current antibiotics, which often require prolonged use. Omadacycline, a new antibiotic, shows promise against M. abscessus. Using a mouse model that mimics M. abscessus disease in humans, we studied the effectiveness of including omadacycline with recommended antibiotics. Adding omadacycline to clofazimine and linezolid significantly improved treatment outcomes, rapidly clearing the bacteria from the lungs and maintaining effectiveness throughout. This oral combination is convenient for patients. However, adding omadacycline to amikacin and imipenem did not improve treatment effectiveness within 4 weeks. Further study with M. abscessus patients is necessary to optimize omadacycline-based treatment strategies for this disease.

Tetracyclines constitute a unique class of antibiotic agents, widely prescribed for both community and hospital infections due to their broad spectrum of activity. Acting by disrupting protein synthesis through tight binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, their interference is typically reversible, rendering them bacteriostatic in action. Resistance to tetracyclines has primarily been associated with changes in pump efflux or ribosomal protection mechanisms. To address this challenge, tetracycline molecules have been chemically modified, resulting in the development of third-generation tetracyclines. These novel tetracyclines offer significant advantages in treating infections, whether used alone or in combination therapies, especially in hospital settings. Beyond their conventional antimicrobial properties, research has highlighted their potential non-antibiotic properties, including their impact on immunomodulation and malignancy. This review will focus on third-generation tetracyclines, namely tigecycline, eravacycline, and omadacycline. We will delve into their mechanisms of action and resistance, while also evaluating their pros and cons over time. Additionally, we will explore their therapeutic potential, analyzing their primary indications of prescription, potential future uses, and non-antibiotic features. This review aims to provide valuable insights into the clinical applications of third-generation tetracyclines, thereby enhancing understanding and guiding optimal clinical use.

The clinical severity of Chlamydia psittaci infection ranges from asymptomatic to severe pneumonia. Diagnosis poses challenges due to its similarity to other respiratory infections. Treatment includes tetracyclines, macrolides, and fluoroquinolones, with limited evidence on the efficacy of omadacycline. We report a case of an 86-year-old male with severe psittacosis treated with omadacycline, resulting in significant improvement. This highlights the necessity for further research on omadacycline's role in psittacosis treatment.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Omadacycline is a new broad-spectrum aminomethylcycline antibiotic. However, there have been limited pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) studies of omadacycline in patients with hepatic impairment. The aim of this study was to explore the PK/PD of omadacycline intravenous administration in healthy and hepatically impaired populations. METHODS: A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of omadacycline was developed and validated based on published demographic data and the physiochemical properties of omadacycline. The PK processes in healthy adults were simulated and then extrapolated to a hepatically impaired population. Monte Carlo simulations were performed for PD evaluation by calculating the probability of target attainment (PTA) and the cumulative fraction of response (CFR) of the approved dosages. FINDINGS: In the hepatically impaired population, there was no significant difference in the maximum concentration (Cmax) compared with the healthy population, while the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from the first data point extrapolated to infinity (AUC_inf) showed a slight increase. Monte Carlo simulations indicated that the dosage of 200 mg once daily or 100 mg twice daily intravenously (loading dose) and 100 mg once daily intravenously (maintenance dose) could cover the common pathogens of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) : Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Staphylococcus aureus. IMPLICATIONS: Hepatic impairment exerts little impact on the PK properties of omadacycline, and no dosage adjustments are necessary for patients with mild and moderate hepatic impairment. Current dosing regimens are predicted to produce satisfactory therapeutic effects against non-drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae but may not produce the desired AUC/MIC ratios in patients with Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Legionella, one of the main pathogens that causes community-acquired pneumonia, can lead to Legionella pneumonia, a condition characterized predominantly by severe pneumonia. This disease, caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophila, can quickly progress to critical pneumonia and is often associated with damage to multiple organs. As a result, it requires close attention in terms of clinical diagnosis and treatment. Omadacycline, a new type of tetracycline derivative belonging to the aminomethylcycline class of antibiotics, is a semi-synthetic compound derived from minocycline. Its key structural feature, the aminomethyl modification, allows omadacycline to overcome bacterial resistance and broadens its range of effectiveness against bacteria. Clinical studies have demonstrated that omadacycline is not metabolized in the body, and patients with hepatic and renal dysfunction do not need to adjust their dosage. This paper reports a case of successful treatment of Legionella pneumonia with omadacycline in a patient who initially did not respond to empirical treatment with moxifloxacin. The patient also experienced electrolyte disturbance, as well as dysfunction in the liver and kidneys, delirium, and other related psychiatric symptoms.

Introduction: Antibiotics frequently induce abnormal liver function. Omadacycline is a novel aminomethylcycline antibiotic, which shows potent activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic, anaerobic, and atypical (including Legionella pneumophila) bacteria. Of note, omadacycline is tolerable in most patients with liver impairment. However, evidence regarding the application of omadacycline in patients with Legionella pneumophila pneumonia after experiencing liver dysfunction is scarce. Methods: The current study reported 6 cases of patients with Legionella pneumophila pneumonia receiving omadacycline as subsequent antibiotics after experiencing liver dysfunction. Results: These 6 cases were admitted to the hospital for pneumonia and received antibiotic therapy, including piperacillin-tazobactam, imipenem, meropenem, and moxifloxacin. After receiving these antibiotics, increased liver enzymes were noted. Although hepatoprotective therapy (such as magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate and glutathione) was given, the liver function was still abnormal. According to metagenomic next-generation sequencing, these patients were diagnosed with Legionella pneumophila pneumonia. Considering the abnormal liver function, the antibiotic therapy was switched to omadacycline-containing antibiotic therapy. After that, liver function was improved, and the infection was ameliorated. Ultimately, all patients discharged from the hospital, including 2 patients who achieved complete clinical symptomatic improvement and 4 patients who achieved partial clinical symptomatic improvement. Discussion: This study emphasizes the successful treatment of switching to omadacycline after experiencing abnormal liver function in patients with Legionella pneumophila pneumonia. This study suggests that omadacycline may serve as an optional antibiotic for patients with Legionella pneumophila pneumonia, especially when occurring liver dysfunction. However, more clinical studies are required to validate our findings.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Omadacycline is the first aminomethyl-tetracycline variety to successfully enter clinical applications. To support regular therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in clinical practice, an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed that would allow omadacycline quantification in human serum. METHODS: Proteins were precipitated from serum samples using methanol. Tigecycline was used as the internal standard. Mobile phase A was formic acid in water (0.1% v/v) and mobile phase B was methanol. UPLC-MS/MS was performed for analyte separation using a gradient elution program at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min and a total run time of 5 min. The chromatography column was a ZORBAX PRHD SB-Aq (3 × 50 mm, 1.8 µm, Agilent, USA). The multiple reaction monitoring transitions at m/z = 557.4/470.3 and 586.5/513.3 were selected for omadacycline and tigecycline in the positive mode, respectively. RESULTS: The validated curve ranges were 0.5-25.0 µg/mL. This method exhibited acceptable selectivity, matrix effects, and recovery. The inter- and intra-run accuracies ranged from 93.5% to 114.8%, and the inter- and intra-run precisions were between 1.29% and 5.55%. CONCLUSIONS: The LC-MS/MS method provided a simple, specific, and rapid quantification of omadacycline in the serum of patients with pulmonary infection.

Background Stress affects mental health significantly and is a ubiquitous feature of contemporary living. Among the possible antibiotics are omadacycline and vancomycin, whose anti-inflammatory properties have also been thoroughly documented in recent research. The goal of the current study was to examine their complex involvement in the brain's stress response circuits and how they modulate stress. An established model organism that provides a useful platform for examining stress-induced behaviors and possible therapeutic approaches is the zebrafish. To investigate how dopamine affects the stress response, we used a zebrafish model that was exposed to stress. Methodology For three minutes, zebrafish were continually subjected to chasing stress. They were then given antibiotic combinations of 50 µg/mL each of vancomycin and omadacycline at various ratios of 1:1, 3:1, and 3:1. Behavior alterations, including freezing bouts, top-bottom ratios, and latency periods, were analyzed and contrasted with control groups. ImageJ software was utilized to analyze the video footage of the fish. Results The study showed that the combination of omadacycline and vancomycin greatly reduced the behaviors in zebrafish caused by stress. They chose their concentration (50 µg/mL) according to the lethal concentration 50% result. By shortening the latency time and increasing the intensity of breezing sessions, these chemicals restored almost normal activity. There was statistical significance in the outcomes. The results show that the combination of vancomycin and omadacycline may have an anti-psychotic impact on zebrafish behaviors brought on by stress. Their control of stress reactions is consistent with their known roles in the reward and stress circuits of the brain. These results emphasize the complex interactions between neurotransmitter systems and the control of stress, highlighting the therapeutic potential of dopamine in the treatment of stress-related mental illnesses. Conclusions The combination of vancomycin and omadacycline has been shown to have anti-psychotic effects, which presents potential opportunities for the development of new treatment strategies for mental diseases associated with stress. To fully understand the specific processes underpinning their involvement in stress management and how they relate to mental illnesses in humans, more investigation is necessary.
RESUMEN
Omadacycline is an FDA-approved agent for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of omadacycline for treating CABP patients infected with Staphylococcus aureus, including Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), using pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analysis. Monte Carlo simulations (MCSs) were performed by utilizing omadacycline pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data, and in vivo PK/PD targets to calculate the probability of target attainment (PTA) and cumulative fraction of response (CFR) values for different dose regimens against MRSA and MSSA in CABP patients. A dosage regimen with a PTA or CFR expectation value greater than 90% was considered optimal. For all recommended dose regimens, PTA values for MRSA MIC ≤1 and MSSA MIC ≤4 on days 1, 4, and 7 were greater than 90%. Based on the MIC distribution of Staphylococcus aureus, all dose regimens had CFR values greater than 90% for both MRSA and MSSA. CFR values for different bacterial strains were still greater than 90% within the range of PK/PD target values less than 40, although they gradually decreased with increasing PK/PD target values. PK/PD modeling demonstrated that all recommended dose regimens of omadacycline are highly effective against CABP patients infected with MRSA and MSSA. The study provides theoretical support for the efficacy of omadacycline in different dose regimens.
RESUMEN
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of various dosing regimens of omadacycline against main drug-resistant pathogens in the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP). Monte Carlo simulations were conducted using pharmacokinetic parameters and pharmacodynamic data to calculate cumulative fractions of response (CFRs) in terms of drug area under the concentration curve/minimum inhibition concentration targets.CFR ≥ 90% was considered optimal for a dosage regimen. CFR of any approved oral/intravenous regimen with loading-dose was ≥ 90% against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) for ABSSSI and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumonia, tetracycline-resistant Streptococcus pneumonia, MRSA and ß-lactamase positive Haemophilus influenzae for CABP. In conclusion, approved oral/intravenous loading and maintenance doses of omadacycline showed enough efficacy in the treatment of ABSSI and CABP caused by the main drug-resistant pathogens.
RESUMEN
This study developed and validated a new liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to quantify omadacycline and its epimerization in stool to facilitate microbiome studies. Omadacycline was extracted in a methanol-water-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (ETDA) solvent containing deuterated omadacycline as internal standard, followed by dilution. In an optimal gradient elution mode, omadacycline and its C4 epimer were separated within 5 min on reversed-phase C18 column. The method showed a broad working range of 0.1-200 ng/ml with a limitation of detection (LOD) of 0.03 ng/ml, little fecal matrix effect, good intra-day and inter-day accuracy (90-101 %), precision (2-15 %), and recovery rate (99-105 %). The method was sufficiently sensitive to quantify omadacycline in human fecal samples (n = 82) collected during a 10-day therapy course and at follow-up (day 13 and day 30) that ranged from 1 to 4785 µg/g. Further analysis revealed that â¼9 % of omadacycline was epimerized in fecal matrix control while, on average, 37.4 % was epimerized in human fecal samples. This study developed and validated a novel, simple, sensitive, and accurate method utilizing LC-MS/MS to quantify omadacycline its epimerization in the human gut. This has important implications for future studies of omadacycline and other tetracycline-class antibiotics as part of gut microbiome studies.

Most of the hydrogen bonds are intra-molecular, but two classical N-Hâ¯O inter-molecular hydrogen bonds (along with probable weak C-Hâ¯O and C-Hâ¯N hydrogen bonds) link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional framework. The framework contains voids, which contain disordered water mol-ecules. Keto-enol tautomerism is apparently important in this mol-ecule, and the exact mol-ecular structure is ambiguous.
RESUMEN
Nocardiosis typically requires a prolonged treatment duration of ≥6 months and initial combination therapy with 2-3 antibiotics. First-line regimens for nocardiosis are associated with considerable toxicity; therefore, alternative therapies are needed. Omadacycline is an aminomethylcycline with broad antimicrobial activity whose in vitro activity against Nocardia species has not been formally assessed. The in vitro potency of omadacycline was evaluated against 300 Nocardia clinical isolates by broth microdilution. The most common Nocardia species tested were N. cyriacigeorgica (21%), N. nova (20%), and N. farcinica (12%). The most common specimens were respiratory (178 isolates, 59%) and wound (57 isolates, 19%). Omadacycline minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) across all Nocardia species ranged from 0.06 µg/mL to 8 µg/mL, with an MIC50 of 2 µg/mL and MIC90 of 4 µg/mL. The lowest MICs were found among N. paucivorans (MIC50 = 0.25 µg/mL, MIC90 = 0.25 µg/mL), N. asiatica (MIC50 = 0.25 µg/mL, MIC90 = 1 µg/mL), N. abscessus complex (MIC50 = 0.5 µg/mL, MIC90 = 1 µg/mL), N. beijingensis (MIC50 = 0.5 µg/mL, MIC90 = 2 µg/mL), and N. otitidiscaviarum (MIC50 = 1 µg/mL, MIC90 = 2 µg/mL). The highest MICs were found among N. farcinica (MIC50 = 4 µg/mL, MIC90 = 8 µg/mL). In vitro potency differed by species among Nocardia clinical isolates. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the potential clinical utility of omadacycline for nocardiosis.

OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we aimed to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of omadacycline (OMC) with its comparators for the treatment of complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTIs) in adult patients. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating OMC for cSSTIs were searched in databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Clinical Trial, up to July 2022. The primary outcomes were clinical efficacy and microbiological response, with secondary outcome was safety. RESULTS: Four RCTs consisting of 1,757 patients were included, with linezolid (LZD) as a comparator drug. For clinical efficacy, OMC was not inferior to LZD in the modified intent-to-treat (MITT) (OR: 1.24, 95% Cl: [0.93, 1.66], P = 0.15) and clinically evaluable (CE) populations (OR: 1.92, 95% Cl: [0.94, 3.92], P = 0.07). For microbiological response, OMC was numerically higher than LZD in the microbiologically evaluable (ME) (OR: 1.74, 95% Cl: [0.81, 3.74], P = 0.16) and microbiological MITT (micro-MITT) populations (OR: 1.27, 95% Cl: [0.92, 1.76], P = 0.14). No significant difference was found in subpopulations of monomicrobial or polymicrobial mixed infection populations. The mortality and adverse event rates were similar between OMC and LZD. CONCLUSIONS: OMC was as good as LZD in terms of clinical efficacy and microbiological response, and has similar safety issues in treating cSSTIs. OMC might be a promising option for treating cSSTIs in adult patients.

Mycobacteroides abscessus (Mab, also known as Mycobacterium abscessus) causes opportunistic pulmonary and soft tissue infections that are difficult to cure with existing treatments. Omadacycline, a new tetracycline antibiotic, exhibits potent in vitro and in vivo activity against Mab. As regimens containing multiple antibiotics are required to produce a durable cure for Mab disease, we assessed efficacies of three three-drug combinations in a pre-clinical mouse model of pulmonary Mab disease to identify companion drugs with which omadacycline exhibits the highest efficacy. Additionally, we assessed the susceptibility of Mab recovered from mouse lungs after four weeks of exposure to the three triple-drug regimens. Among the three-drug regimens, omadacycline + imipenem + amikacin produced the largest reduction in Mab burden, whereas omadacycline + imipenem + linezolid exhibited the most effective early bactericidal activity. Omadacycline + linezolid + clofazimine, a regimen that can be administered orally, lacked early bactericidal activity but produced a gradual reduction in the lung Mab burden over time. The robust efficacy exhibited by these three regimens in the mouse model supports their further evaluation in patients with Mab lung disease. As we were unable to isolate drug-resistant Mab mutants at the completion of four weeks of treatment, these triple-drug combinations show promise of producing durable cure and minimizing selection of resistant mutants.
