aThere were 4 strains examined, with varying susceptibility to tetracyclines, β-lactams, and macrolides.

bThere were 4-fold increasing doses examined, from 0.1 to 25.6 mg/kg.

cDoses increased 4-fold every 12 hours, from 0.25 to 64 mg/kg.

dAt least 4 dose levels per experiment, with doses typically ranging from 0.11 to 18 mg/kg (dose minimum–maximum, 0.08–54 mg/kg); only tigecycline comparator is shown.

eData are represented as means ± standard deviations from 7 independent experiments.

fTwo doses of 10 mg/kg administered at 4 hours and 18 hours postsurgery.

gIncreasing single doses on day 4 postinfection.

hOmadacycline: 15 mg/kg; doxycycline: 15 mg/kg; ciprofloxacin: 30 mg/kg; vehicle: 0.2 mL saline. All treatments began 48 ± 1 hours postinfection, and were given twice daily for 14 days.

iOmadacycline: 5, 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg; doxycycline: 5, 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg; ciprofloxacin: 15 mg/kg; vehicle: 0.2 mL saline. All treatments began 24 ± 1 hours postinfection, and were given twice daily for 7 days.

jGiven for 5 days at 50 mg/kg/day.
