Bactericidal activity of OPC-67683 against drug-tolerant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
OBJECTIVES There is an urgent need for drugs that hasten sterilization in tuberculosis; however, we presently lack indicators of this activity to guide early drug development. We previously described a novel in vitro assay to study mycobacterial phenotypic drug tolerance, in which sterilizing activity could be assessed. OPC-67,683 is a novel imidazooxazole that accelerates sterilization in the ...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of roxithromycin against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
Roxithromycin has recently been shown to possess significant in vitro activity against a variety of atypical mycobacteria such as the M. avium complex, M. scrofulaceum, M. szulgai, M. malmoense, M. xenopi, M. marinum, and M. kansasii and rare pathogens like M. chelonei and M. fortuitum. In the present investigation, screening of its in vitro activity was further extended by testing it against 3...
متن کاملComparative in vitro activity of fluoroquinolones against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Sixty clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis, 24 susceptible and 36 resistant to conventional primary antituberculous drugs, were tested against four fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, pefloxacin and norfloxacin). Ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were found to be the most active, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.6 mg/l or less to all strains tested. Strains resistant to isonia...
متن کاملInhibitory and bactericidal activities of levofloxacin against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro and in human macrophages.
Levofloxacin exhibited twofold greater inhibitory and bactericidal activities than ofloxacin against either extracellular or intracellular tubercle bacilli. The activities of both drugs against extracellular and intracellular bacteria were about the same, despite the accumulation of the drugs in macrophages at a level four- to fivefold greater than that in the extracellular medium. The activiti...
متن کاملN-methylation of a bactericidal compound as a resistance mechanism in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The rising incidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) makes it imperative to understand the underlying mechanisms. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the single leading cause of death from a bacterial pathogen and estimated to be the leading cause of death from AMR. A pyrido-benzimidazole, 14, was reported to have potent bactericidal activity against Mtb. Here, we isolated multiple Mtb clones...
