چکیده
The antimicrobial activities of telithromycin (HMR 3647) and seven other antimicrobials against 94 strains of rapidly growing mycobacteria were determined. Telithromycin at a concentration of 1 microg/ml inhibited Mycobacterium peregrinum (100%), Mycobacterium chelonae (80%), Mycobacterium abscessus-Mycobacterium mucogenicum (44.4%), and Mycobacterium fortuitum (2.1%). All or most strains of M. peregrinum, M. fortuitum, and M. mucogenicum were inhibited by 2 microg of quinolones per ml.

In vitro activities of the ketolides telithromycin (HMR 3647) and HMR 3004 compared to those of clarithromycin against slowly growing mycobacteria at pHs 6.8 and 7.4.
The in vitro activities of HMR 3647 (telithromycin) and HMR 3004, two novel semisynthetic ketolides, were investigated and compared with that of the reference macrolide drug, clarithromycin, against 34 strains of slowly growing mycobacteria at pHs 6.8 and 7.4, as determined radiometrically. The MICs at pH 7.4 were about 1 to 2 dilutions lower than those observed at pH 6.8. In terms of the highe...
متن کاملIn vitro development of resistance to telithromycin (HMR 3647), four macrolides, clindamycin, and pristinamycin in Streptococcus pneumoniae.
The ability of 50 sequential subcultures in subinhibitory concentrations of telithromycin (HMR 3647), azithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin A, roxithromycin, clindamycin, and pristinamycin to select for resistance was studied in five macrolide-susceptible and six macrolide-resistant pneumococci containing mefE or ermB. Telithromycin selected for resistance less often than the other drugs.
متن کاملIn vitro pharmacodynamic studies of activities of ketolides HMR 3647 (Telithromycin) and HMR 3004 against extracellular or intracellular Helicobacter pylori.
The pharmacodynamic properties of the ketolides HMR 3647 (telithromycin) and HMR 3004 were studied against Helicobacter pylori. Both ketolides showed a pronounced concentration-dependent killing, a significant postantibiotic effect, a long postantibiotic sub-MIC effect, and a reduction of intracellular H. pylori.
متن کاملBronchopulmonary disposition of the ketolide telithromycin (HMR 3647).
Telithromycin (HMR 3647) is the first member of a new family of antimicrobials, the ketolides, developed specifically for the treatment of community-acquired respiratory tract infections. Telithromycin has proven in vitro activity against both common and atypical respiratory tract pathogens. The penetration of telithromycin into bronchopulmonary tissues and subsequent elimination from these sit...
متن کاملCellular uptake of two fluoroketolides, HMR 3562 and HMR 3787, by human polymorphonuclear neutrophils in vitro.
We analyzed the cellular accumulation of two new fluoroketolides, HMR 3562 and HMR 3787, by human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) in vitro. Both compounds were rapidly taken up by PMN, with a cellular-to-extracellular concentration ratio (C/E) of about 141 (HMR 3562) and 117 (HMR 3787) at 5 min, and this was followed by a plateau at 60 to 180 min, with a C/E of >300 at 180 min. Both ketolid...
