Comparative in vitro activity of ABT-773, a novel antibacterial ketolide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The in vitro activities of ABT-773, erythromycin, clarithromycin, and azithromycin were compared. ABT-773 was the most active compound against macrolide-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Listeria monocytogenes, and Enterococcus spp. and multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. It also had good activity against gram-negative and atypical respiratory tract pathogens and Helicobacter pylori.

In vitro activity of the ketolide ABT-773.
The in vitro activities of ABT-773, azithromycin, erythromycin, and clindamycin were compared by testing 1,223 clinical isolates selected to represent different species and phenotypes. ABT-773 was particularly potent against staphylococci (the MIC at which 90% of the strains tested were inhibited [MIC(90)] was < or =0.06 microg/ml), including all strains that were macrolide resistant but clinda...

The anti-staphylococcal activity of ABT-773, a new member of the ketolides, was examined and compared with those of erythromycin and clarithromycin using the agar dilution method. A total of 336 well-defined clinical isolates of staphylococci, including a large number of clonally different methicillin-resistant strains with defined macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLS(B)) resistance pheno...

ABT-773 is a novel ketolide effective against antibacterial-resistant respiratory tract pathogens. The pharmacokinetic profile of ABT-773 was studied in rats and consisted of a mean peak concentration in plasma of 1.07 microg/ml and an area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of 12.03 microg. h/ml when the compound was delivered at a dose of 25 mg/kg of body weight. It concentrated in rat ...
متن کاملStudies of the novel ketolide ABT-773: transport, binding to ribosomes, and inhibition of protein synthesis in Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Macrolide resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae has been associated with two main mechanisms: target modification by Erm methyltransferases and efflux by macrolide pumps. The ketolide ABT-773, which has a 3-keto group and no L-cladinose sugar, represents a new class of drugs with in vitro activity against a variety of resistant bacteria. Several approaches were undertaken to understand how ABT...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of a new ketolide, ABT-773, alone and in combination with amoxicillin, metronidazole, or tetracycline against Helicobacter pylori.
The in vitro activity of ABT-773, a new ketolide, was compared with those of clarithromycin, amoxicillin, metronidazole, and tetracycline against 15 strains of Helicobacter pylori. The MIC of ABT-773 at which 90% of isolates were inhibited was 0.25 microg/ml, which was 3 dilutions higher than that of the most active agent, clarithromycin. Synergy and antagonism were not seen with any combinatio...
