The findings of this simulated model suggest that prioritizing the use of omadacycline over current CABP treatments in hospitalized CABP with a DRS ≥ 6 may potentially reduce attributable HCA-CDI costs. The findings are not unique to omadacycline and could be applied to any antibiotic that confers a lower risk of HCA-CDI relative to current CABP inpatient treatments.
