摘要
No new acquisition of Clostridium difficile occurred among 12 hospitalised patients receiving tigecycline, and pre-existing colonisation was reduced to undetectable levels in 2 patients. Moreover, 91% of stool suspensions obtained during tigecycline therapy exhibited inhibitory activity against C. difficile. These results suggest that tigecycline achieves sufficient concentrations to inhibit intestinal colonisation by C difficile.
