Tigecycline treatment for urinary tract infections: case report and literature review

D M Drekonja et al. J Chemother. 2011 Jun.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance among Gram-negatives is increasing; treatment options are limited. Although tigecycline is used infrequently for urinary tract infection (UTI), greater use is likely as resistance increases. We report successful treatment of an episode of febrile UTI and probable prostatitis with tigecycline, and summarize the relevant literature.
