In vitro activity of solithromycin against erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus agalactiae.
The in vitro antibacterial activity of solithromycin (CEM-101) against macrolide-resistant isolates (n=62) of Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus [GBS]) was determined. Phenotypic characterization of macrolide-resistant strains was performed by double-disc diffusion testing. A multiplex PCR was used to identify the erm(B), erm(TR), and mef(A/E) genes, capsular genotypes, and alpha-l...
متن کاملIn vitro Activity of Solithromycin (CEM-101) Against Macrolide-resistant Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus)
Introduction: Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus or GBS), now recognized as a qualified infectious disease pathogen (QIDP) by the FDA, remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among infants in the United States. Although the incidence of GBS in pregnancy has decreased, penicillin and ampicillin minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for GBS have risen, requiring highe...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of tigecycline against erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus agalactiae: mechanisms of macrolide and tetracycline resistance.
The activity of tigecycline was tested against erythromycin-resistant streptococci (107 Streptococcus pyogenes and 98 Streptococcus agalactiae strains). The presence of erythromycin and tetracycline resistance genes was determined by PCR. Among S. pyogenes strains the most prevalent gene was mef(A) (91.6%). The erm(B) gene was the most prevalent (65.3%) among S. agalactiae strains. Tigecycline ...
متن کاملComparative in vitro activities of linezolid, quinupristin-dalfopristin, moxifloxacin, and trovafloxacin against erythromycin-susceptible and -resistant streptococci.
The in vitro activities of the new agents linezolid, quinupristin-dalfopristin, moxifloxacin, and trovafloxacin were determined and compared with those of penicillin, clindamycin, and four macrolides against 53 erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, 117 S. pyogenes (64 erythromycin-susceptible and 53 -resistant), and 101 S. agalactiae (53 erythromycin-susceptible and 48 -resistant) is...
متن کاملA new ketolide, HMR 3004, active against streptococci inducibly resistant to erythromycin.
HMR 3004 is a new hydrazono ketolide characterized by a 3-keto function instead of the cladinose moiety. The effect of this antimicrobial agent on inducible and constitutive macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB) resistance was tested in a lacZ reporter system under control of several ermAM-like attenuator variants. For one constitutively resistant Streptococcus agalactiae strain, three i...
