Tigeciclina en el tratamiento de mediastinitis por bacilos Gram negativos multirresistentes: reporte de casos y análisis crítico

Mediastinitis is a life-threatening complication among patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Gram-positives cocci are the most frequent pathogens associated with post-surgical mediastinitis, being the Gram-negative etiology uncommon in most of the published series. We present our experience with four patients with mediastinitis due to multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli, who have been treated with tigecycline.
