Activity of novel oxazolidinones against Nocardia brasiliensis growing within THP-1 macrophages.
BACKGROUND Nocardia are organisms that can escape the effects of both immune response and antimicrobial agents, due to their potential capacity to grow intracellularly. In previous studies, we found that experimental oxazolidinones, DA-7157 and DA-7218, are active both in vitro and in vivo. OBJECTIVES In this study, we compare the ability of linezolid, DA-7157 and DA-7218 to inhibit intracell...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of new antimicrobials against Nocardia brasiliensis.
The in vitro sensitivities of 30 strains of Nocardia brasiliensis to DA-7867, gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin, and BMS-284756 (garenoxacin) were determined using the broth microdilution method. All N. brasiliensis strains were sensitive to these antimicrobials. The most active drug in vitro was DA-7867, with a MIC at which 90% of the isolates tested were inhibited of 0.03 micro g/ml and a MIC at whi...

متن کاملIn Vivo Activity of the Benzothiazinones PBTZ169 and BTZ043 against Nocardia brasiliensis
BACKGROUND Mycetoma is a neglected, chronic, and deforming infectious disease caused by fungi and actinomycetes. In Mexico, N. brasiliensis is the predominant etiologic agent. Therapeutic alternatives are necessary because the current drug regimens have several disadvantages. Benzothiazinones (BTZ) are a new class of candidate drugs that inhibit decaprenyl-phosphoribose-epimerase (DprE1), an es...
متن کاملComplete genome sequence of Nocardia brasiliensis HUJEG-1.
In Mexico, actinomycetoma is mainly caused by Nocardia brasiliensis, which is a soil inhabitant actinobacterium. Here, we report for the first time the draft genome of a strain isolated from a human case that has largely been found in in vitro and experimental models of actinomycetoma, N. brasiliensis HUJEG-1.
