Antimicrobial Activity of CEM-101 a New Macrolide, Tested Against Diverse Collections of Bacterial Biowarfare/Bioterrorism (BW/BT) Agents

چکیده
There continues to be a feared scenario of terrorist attacks with aerosolized microorganisms leading to mass infections. Given the added possibility of resistance to current treatments through genetic engineering or natural emergence, identifying effective antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action is critical to counter such an attack. In this study, we determined the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of a new macrolide CEM-101 against genotypic and geographic diverse collections of five BW/BT agents; Bacillus anthracis (BA), Yersinia pestis (YP), Franciella tularensis (FT), Burkholderia mallei (BM) and B. pseudomallei (BP).

CEM-101 activity against Gram-positive organisms.
The in vitro activity of CEM-101, a new fluoroketolide, was determined against Gram-positive organisms with various macrolide susceptibility profiles. Experiments for determination of the MICs and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs), timed killing, single-step and multistep mutation rates, the erythromycin induction of resistance, postantibiotic effect (PAE), and drug interactions were p...

The activity of CEM-101, a fluoroketolide, was compared to those of 11 other antimicrobial agents using the reference broth microdilution method tested against 103 Neisseria meningitidis strains, including ciprofloxacin-nonsusceptible isolates with confirmed gyrA (T91I) mutations. Among the tested isolates, 79.6% were serogroup B or C and all isolates were susceptible to ceftriaxone, azithromyc...

CEM-101 is a novel fluoroketolide with lower MICs than those of telithromycin and macrolides. Our aim was to assess the cellular accumulation and intracellular activity of CEM-101 using models developed for analyzing the pharmacokinetics and pharmacological properties of antibiotics against phagocytized bacteria. We used THP-1 macrophages and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923 [methicillin (meti...
