The FDA announced a boxed warning for tigecycline due to progression of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria and increased risk of mortality during treatment. Plasma exposure of tigecycline might not prevent bacteraemia in these cases from the focuses. Hence, we evaluated intensified dosing regimens and breakpoints that might suppress bloodstream infections, caused by progression of infection by e.g., Gram-negatives. A pharmacometric model was built from tigecycline concentrations (100 – 600 mg daily doses) against clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates (MIC 0.125 – 0.5 mg/L). Regrowth occurred at clinically used doses and stasis was only achieved with 100 mg q8h for the strain with the lowest studied MIC of 0.125 mg/L. Stasis at 24 h was related to fAUC/MIC of 38.5. Our study indicates that even intensified dosing regimens might prevent bloodstream infections only for MIC values ≤0.125 mg/L for tigecycline. This indicates an overly optimistic breakpoint of 1 mg/L for Enterobacterales, which are deemed to respond to the tigecycline high dose regimen (EUCAST Guidance Document on Tigecycline Dosing 2022).
