    • Background: Eravacycline (ERV) is a novel, fully synthetic fluorocycline antibiotic of the tetracycline class being developed for the treatment of serious infections, including those caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activity of ERV and comparators against global, non-duplicate isolates of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB).

    Methods: Clinical isolates (n=300) were collected from various body sites in patients in nine mainly European countries from 2005-2015. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by broth microdilution in cation-adjusted Mueller–Hinton broth according to CLSI guidelines. The concentration ranges tested in 2-fold dilutions were: ERV, 0.015–16 mg/L; amikacin, 1–128 mg/L; imipenem, 1-128 mg/L; levofloxacin, 0.25–32 mg/L; meropenem, 0.25–32 mg/L; minocycline, 0.125-16 mg/L; doxycycline, 0.125-16 mg/L; sulbactam, 0.25-32 mg/L; tigecycline, 0.126-16 mg/L; and tobramycin, 0.25-32 mg/L. Susceptibility was determined using CLSI 2015 breakpoints. Based on rep-PCR and MLST, isolates represented 8 worldwide clonal lineages and included 232 isolates with blaOXA-23-like, 18 isolates with blaOXA-40-like, 28 isolates with blaOXA-58-like and 22 isolates with overexpression of intrinsic blaOXA-51.

    Results: The ERV MIC50/90 values for all isolates were 0.5/1 mg/L. Comparatively, tigecycline, minocycline and doxycycline MIC50/90 values were 1/2, 4/8, 32/>32 mg/L, respectively. One or 19 strains had susceptibility of ≥4 mg/L to eravacycline and tigecycline, respectively, while 28 strains had a MIC of 16 mg/L.

    Conclusion: ERV had the best in vitro potency, including isolates that were pan-resistant to sulbactam, imipenem/meropenem, levofloxacin, and amikacin/tobramycin, compared to other compounds. ERV may be a therapeutic option for treatment of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii
