Abstract
Tigecycline is a novel glycylcycline antibiotic with a broad antibacterial spectrum. Tigecycline was tested with 66 clinical isolates of Plasmodium falciparum from Bangladesh using the histidine-rich protein 2 in vitro drug susceptibility assay. The 50% and 90% inhibitory concentrations of tigecycline were 699 (95% confidence interval, 496 to 986) and 5,905 nM (4,344 to 8,028). Tigecycline shows no activity correlation with traditional antimalarials and has substantial antimalarial activity on its own.Entities:
