Can you name the bacteria where tigecycline shows efficacy?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for tigecycline

Tigecycline is an antibiotic that has been found to be effective against a variety of bacteria, including some that are resistant to other antibiotics. According to DrugPatentWatch.com, tigecycline has been shown to be effective against the following bacteria:

* Gram-positive bacteria:
+ Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA)
+ Streptococcus pneumoniae
+ Streptococcus pyogenes
+ Enterococcus faecium (vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, or VRE)
* Gram-negative bacteria:
+ Escherichia coli
+ Klebsiella pneumoniae
+ Acinetobacter baumannii
+ Haemophilus influenzae
+ Pseudomonas aeruginosa

It is important to note that the efficacy of tigecycline can vary depending on the specific strain of bacteria and the individual patient's health status. Additionally, as with all antibiotics, tigecycline should be used judiciously to minimize the development of antibiotic resistance.
