Tigecycline is used in multidrug regimens for salvage therapy ofMycobacterium abscessus infections but is often poorly tolerated and has no oral formulation. Here, we report similarin vitro activity of two newly approved tetracycline analogs, omadacycline and eravacycline, against 28 drug-resistant clinical isolates ofM. abscessus complex.
