チゲサイクリンは広域な抗菌薬として多剤耐性菌治療,集中治療領域における重症感染症治療の選択肢となり得る薬物である。緑膿菌を除く,カルバペネム耐性を含むグラム陰性桿菌による感染症への治療薬として特に注目度が高い。腎機能に応じた用量調節を必要としない点などで比較的使いやすいが,効果や副作用についてよく勘案する必要がある。適応疾患,使い方に関しても,さらなる研究結果に注目していく必要がある。
Tigecycline, a derivative of the tetracyclines, can be a good treatment option for patients with infections due to multi-drug resistant organisms and severe infections in the critical care setting. It covers a broad spectrum of organisms, particularly gram-negative organisms except Pseudomonas, and can be even used as part of combination therapy for infections by carbapenem resistant organisms such as complicated intra-abdominal infections. Although it does not require renal dose adjustment and its use is relatively simple, the risk-benefit balance needs to be considered given the available evidence of potentially higher mortality with tigecycline. Further research is required to define the clinical indications and utility in the era of antimicrobial resistance.
