Sumario:BACKGROUND: Eravacycline is a novel, tetracycline class antibacterial indicated for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections in adults. In clinical trials, patients given eravacycline had a low likelihood of developing Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). We hypothesized this was likely due, in part, to the in vitro susceptibility of eravacycline to C. difficile. The purpose of this study was to test the in vitro susceptibility of eravacycline vs. comparators on contemporary clinical isolates representing common ribotypes, including isolates with decreased susceptibility to metronidazole and vancomycin. METHODS: Two hundred and thirty-four isolates from our biobank were selected from the six most common ribotypes (F001, F002, F014-020, F027, F106, and F255). Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) at 24 hours were measured according to CLSI guidelines for eravacycline, vancomycin, metronidazole and fidaxomicin. MICs results were tabulated and are presented as the geometric mean by ribotype. RESULTS: Geometric MIC results are shown in Table 1. Eravacycline was the most potent antimicrobial tested followed by fidaxomicin, metronidazole, and vancomycin. Results were consistent amongst all ribotypes, including isolates with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin and metronidazole. CONCLUSION: Eravacycline displayed potent in vitro activity against a large collection of clinical C. difficile isolates. These data provide insight into why patients given eravacycline had a low likelihood of developing CDI and support further research to better understand the use of eravacycline to prevent or potentially treat patients with CDI.
