In vitro activities of tigecycline against clinical isolates of Aeromonas, Vibrio, and Salmonella species in Taiwan

All 198 Salmonella isolates (58.6% of isolates were resistant to tetracycline), 92 Vibrio isolates (4.4% of isolates were resistant to tetracycline), and 200 of 201 Aeromonas isolates (39.3% of isolates were resistant to tetracycline; 1 A. caviae isolate had a tigecycline MIC of 4 mug/ml) in our study were susceptible to tigecycline, by U. S. Food and Drug Administration criteria for Enterobacteriaceae.
