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.
