نویسندگان
چکیده
Agar and broth microdilution MICs of Ro 23-9424 that inhibited 90% of 22 Legionella clinical isolates tested were 0.64 and 0.08 micrograms/ml, respectively; respective erythromycin values were 1.0 and 0.12 micrograms/ml. Ro 23-9424 (1 microgram/ml) was slightly more active than the same erythromycin concentration in a macrophage system, for both Legionella pneumophila strains studied.

In vitro activities of a dual-action antibacterial agent, Ro 23-9424, and comparative agents.
The in vitro activity of the dual-action antibacterial agent Ro 23-9424 was compared with those of cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, fleroxacin, imipenem, and amikacin against 358 aerobes and anaerobes. The MIC ranges, MICs for 50 and 90% of the strains (MIC50s and MIC90s), and percentage of strains susceptible for each agent at the recommended susceptible MIC breakpoint were determined f...

Ro 23-9424 is a novel ester-linked codrug of fleroxacin (Ro 23-6240; AM-833) and the cefotaxime metabolite desacetylcefotaxime. Its potency was determined against over 1,000 organisms and found to be intermediate between those of the two components. More than 99% of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae were inhibited by greater than or equal micrograms of Ro 23-9424 per ml; its MIC for 50% ...

Ro 23-9424 is a dual-action cephalosporin with an aminothiazolylmethoxyimino-type side chain at the 7 position and fleroxacin esterified at the 3' position. The new compound has broad and potent antibacterial activity in vitro and in vivo, reflecting contributions from both the beta-lactam moiety and the quinolone moiety. In animals, the ester bond potentially could be hydrolyzed enzymatically ...
متن کاملEscherichia coli resistant to cephalosporins and quinolones is still susceptible to the cephalosporin-quinolone ester Ro 23-9424.
Ro 23-9424 is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent consisting of a cephalosporin (desacetylcefotaxime) linked through an ester bond to a fluoroquinolone (fleroxacin). Its activity against mutants of Escherichia coli TE18 resistant to both antibacterial components was examined. E. coli TE18 overproduces the AmpC beta-lactamase and is resistant to several cephalosporins, including desacetylcefota...
