Omadacycline

**Semantic type:** Antibiotic|Organic Chemical|Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** An aminomethylcycline and a semisynthetic tetracycline derivative, with antimicrobial activity. Upon administration, omadacycline binds to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. Omadacycline is engineered to overcome certain tetracycline resistance mechanisms, including tetracycline-specific efflux pumps and ribosomal protection.
