Eravacycline demonstratedin vitro activity against a contemporary collection of more than 4,000 Gram-negative pathogens from New York City hospitals, with MIC50 /MIC90 values, respectively, forEscherichia coli of 0.12/0.5 μg/ml,Klebsiella pneumoniae of 0.25/1 μg/ml,Enterobacter aerogenes of 0.25/1 μg/ml,Enterobacter cloacae 0.5/1 μg/ml, andAcinetobacter baumannii of 0.5/1 μg/ml. Activity was retained against multidrug-resistant isolates, including those expressing KPC and OXA carbapenemases. ForA. baumannii , eravacycline MICs correlated with increased expression of theadeB gene.
