Tigecycline Susceptibility Trends Among Pathogens Isolated From Complicated Skin and Soft-Tissue Infections in North and Latin America: 2011–2015

• Between 2011 and 2015, 378 cumulative sites in North America and 133 cumulative sites in Latin America participated in the TEST program. For this report isolates of S. aureus, S.agalactiae, Enterococcus spp., A. baumannii, Enterobacter spp., E. coli and K. pneumoniae were identified to the species level and MICs determined at each participating laboratory using supplied broth microdilution panels. All isolates were derived from complicated skin and soft tissue infections. Only one isolate per patient was accepted into the study.
