Case Report: Omadacycline in the Treatment of Community-Acquired Pneumonia in a Child With Multiple Antimicrobial Allergies.

ABSTRACT: Omadacycline, a novel once-daily aminomethylcycline antibiotic agent, demonstrates efficacy against prevalent pathogens responsible for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults. However, the safety and efficacy of omadacycline in younger children have not yet been established. This case report presents a 4-year-old girl with a mixed infection of CAP who exhibited hypersensitivity to multiple antimicrobial agents (piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidime, fosfomycin, meropenem, and levofloxacin), was treated with omadacycline followed by doxycycline, and underwent bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage.
