• Complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTI), excluding diabetic foot infections;
• Complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI).

Pharmacotherapeutic group : Antibacterials for systemic use, tetracyclines
ATC code : J01AA12
Pharmacodynamic properties : Tigecycline, a glycylcycline antibiotic, inhibits protein translation in bacteria by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocking entry of amino-acyl tRNA molecules into the A site of the ribosome. This prevents incorporation of amino acid residues into elongating peptide chains.
In general, tigecycline is considered bacteriostatic. At 4 times the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), a 2-log reduction in colony counts was observed with tigecycline against Enterococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli.
