Abstract

The Tigecycline Evaluation and Surveillance Trial (T.E.S.T.) is a surveillance study established in 2004 to monitor the activity of tigecycline, the first glycylcycline, and comparator agents [-lactams (including penicillins, cephalosporins and carbapenems), glycopeptides, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones and oxazolidinones] against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens worldwide. This report examines 1692 isolates of collected in the continental United States between January 2004 and September 2005. Meticillin-resistant (MRSA) accounted for 52.0 % of isolates. Prevalence of MRSA by state ranged from 12.5 % in New Hampshire to 100 % in Kentucky. All isolates were susceptible to tigecycline, linezolid and vancomycin. , tigecycline was potent against both meticillin-susceptible (MSSA) (MIC and MIC=0.12 μg ml) and MRSA (MIC=0.12 μg ml; MIC=0.25 μg ml). Only a single isolate was resistant to three or more antimicrobial classes. Ninety-six isolates (5.7 %) were susceptible to the complete antimicrobial panel.
