چکیده

Garenoxacin (BMS 284756) was active against 105 of 108 (97%) recent clinical Gardnerella vaginalis isolates at < or =2 micro g/ml by using the reference agar dilution method for anaerobes. Twenty-eight percent of isolates (31 of 108) were resistant to metronidazole, and 44% were resistant to doxycycline. All were susceptible to clindamycin and ampicillin-sulbactam.

In vitro susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates to garenoxacin and DA-7867.

The in vitro activities of DA-7867, a novel oxazolidinone, and garenoxacin (BMS-284756) were compared to those of linezolid in 67 susceptible and drug-resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. DA-7867 was the most active drug with an MIC(90) of 0.125 microg/ml, compared to the MIC(90)s of 4 microg/ml of garenoxacin and 2 microg/ml of linezolid.

Activities of garenoxacin (BMS-284756) and other agents against anaerobic clinical isolates.

A total of 590 clinical isolates consisting of 33 species of both gram-positive and gram-negative anaerobes were collected from nine centers in the Chicago area in 1998-1999. The largest number of isolates (330 isolates, 56%) belonged to the Bacteroides group. Isolates were tested by agar dilution against garenoxacin (BMS-284756, T-3811 ME), trovafloxacin, moxifloxacin, clindamycin, imipenem, p...

In vitro activities of new antimicrobials against Nocardia brasiliensis.

The in vitro sensitivities of 30 strains of Nocardia brasiliensis to DA-7867, gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin, and BMS-284756 (garenoxacin) were determined using the broth microdilution method. All N. brasiliensis strains were sensitive to these antimicrobials. The most active drug in vitro was DA-7867, with a MIC at which 90% of the isolates tested were inhibited of 0.03 micro g/ml and a MIC at whi...

In vitro activities of novel des-fluoro(6) quinolone BMS-284756 against mutants of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus selected with different quinolones.

BMS-284756 (T-3811) is a novel quinolone that lacks a fluorine at the C-6 position. BMS-284756 has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity (3, 7). The purpose of the present study was (i) to analyze the in vitro activity of the novel quinolone against mutants of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus selected with marketed quinolones and (ii) to investiga...

Effects of the Des-F(6)-quinolone garenoxacin (BMS-284756), in comparison to those of ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin, on joint cartilage in immature rats.

We did not observe signs of chondrotoxicity in immature rats treated orally with garenoxacin (BMS-284756) at doses up to five times 600 mg/kg of body weight or with ciprofloxacin, whereas ofloxacin induced typical cartilage lesions. The peak plasma garenoxacin concentration was 25.5 mg/liter after administration of a dose of 600 mg/kg once daily for 5 days. Assuming that this model is predictiv...
