چکیده
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate the role of tigecycline in Vibrio vulnificus infection. METHODS Eight randomly selected clinical V. vulnificus isolates were studied to obtain the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of minocycline, cefotaxime, and tigecycline, and the time-kill curves of tigecycline alone or in combination with other drugs. A peritonitis mouse model was used for the evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of tigecycline alone or cefotaxime in combination with minocycline or tigecycline. RESULTS The MIC of minocycline, cefotaxime, and tigecycline for eight clinical V. vulnificus isolates was 0.06-0.12 μg/mL, 0.03-0.06 μg/mL, and 0.03-0.06 μg/mL, respectively. In time-killing studies, at the concentration of 1 × MIC, the inhibitory effect of tigecycline persisted for 24 hours in five of eight isolates. With 2 × MIC and trough level, the inhibitory effect was noted in all isolates for 24 hours. With the combination of minocycline plus cefotaxime and tigecycline plus cefotaxime at 1/2 × MIC, the bactericidal effect was noted in 25% and 62.5% of eight isolates and synergism in 50% and 75% of isolates. With a low (1.25 × 105 CFU/mL) inoculum, all infected mice survived with tigecycline alone, tigecycline plus cefotaxime, or minocycline plus cefotaxime on the 14th day. At the inoculum of 1.25 × 106 CFU, the survival rate was 33.3% on the 14th day in the tigecycline plus cefotaxime-treated group, but none of the mice treated by tigecycline alone or minocycline plus cefotaxime survived (33.3% vs. 0%, p = 0.01 by Fisher's exact test). CONCLUSION Our in vitro combination and animal studies indicate that tigecycline could be an option for the treatment of invasive V. vulnificus infections.

Vibrio vulnificus is a Gram-negative bacterium that induces severely rapid pathological progress. In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial activity of two water-soluble chitosan oligosaccharides, COS A (MW, 10,000 Da) and COS B (MW, 1,000 Da), from 90-95% deacetylated chitosan, against V. vulnificus in vitro and in vivo. Treatment with COS A resulted in significantly higher suppressive eff...
