Staphylococcus aureus mutants selected by BMS-284756.

چکیده
BMS-284756, a novel des-fluoro(6)-quinolone, was used to select for in vitro mutants of Staphylococcus aureus ISP794. Step mutants were obtained, and the quinolone resistance-determining regions of four target genes, gyrA, gyrB, grlA, and grlB, were sequenced. The data suggest that DNA gyrase is the primary target for BMS-284756 in S. aureus.

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...
متن کاملInduction of in vitro resistance to BMS-284756 by Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Sir, BMS-284756 (T-3811) is a novel quinolone that lacks a fluorine at the C-6 position, and is active in vitro against Streptococcus pneumoniae, including strains with elevated ciprofloxacin MICs. Because the various quinolones differ in both target affinity and their activation of efflux pumps, one can speculate that the phenotypic expression of quinolone resistance will also differ. Studies ...

Analogues of BMS-284756, a novel des-F(6)-quinolone, were synthesized and evaluated in order to determine the effects of modification of substituents on in vitro target inhibition. BMS-340281 (stereoisomer of BMS-284756), BMS-340280 (C-6 fluorinated analogue of BMS-284756), BMS-340278 (C-8-H derivative), BMS-433366 (C-8 methoxy analogue) and fluoroquinolone comparators were evaluated for antiba...
متن کاملEfficacies of BMS 284756 against penicillin-sensitive, penicillin-resistant, and quinolone-resistant pneumococci in experimental meningitis.
BMS 284756 penetrated well into inflamed meninges (44% +/- 11%) and produced good bactericidal activity (-0.82 +/- 0.22 Delta log(10) CFU/ml. h) in the treatment of experimental meningitis in rabbits due to a penicillin-sensitive strain. BMS 284756 monotherapy had a greater potency than the standard regimen of ceftriaxone and vancomycin (-0.49 +/- 0.08 Delta log(10) CFU/ml. h) against a penicil...
متن کاملAntipneumococcal activity of BMS 284756 compared to those of six other agents.
Antipneumococcal activity of BMS 284756 was compared to those of six agents by MIC and time-kill methodologies. BMS 284756 had the lowest MICs compared to those of ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin against quinolone-susceptible (< or =0.016 to 0.06 microg/ml) and quinolone-resistant (0.03 to 1 microg/ml) pneumococci. BMS 284756 was bactericidal against 11 of 12 strains at two times ...
