Chlamydia trachomatis is a strict intracellular bacterium that causes sexually transmitted infections and eye infections that can lead to life-long sequelae. Treatment options are limited to broad-spectrum antibiotics that disturb the commensal flora and contribute to selection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Hence, development of novel drugs tha...

We have designed, synthesized, and characterized a library of 38 novel flavonoid compounds linked with amines. Some of these amine-linked flavonoids have potent in vitro activity against parasites that cause cutaneous leishmaniasis, a tropical disease endemic in 80 countries worldwide. The most promising candidate, FM09h, was highly active with IC5...

NOSO-502 is a preclinical antibiotic candidate of the Odilorhabdin class. This compound exhibits activity against Enterobacteriaceae pathogens, including carbapenemase-producing bacteria and most of the Colistin (CST)-resistant strains. Among a collection of CST-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains harboring mutations on genes pmrAB, mgrB, phoPQ...

Isavuconazole (ISA) is an azole antifungal used in the treatment of invasive aspergillosis and mucormycosis. Patients with mild and moderate hepatic impairment have lower clearance (CL) as compared to the healthy population. Currently, there is no data on ISA in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). The purpose of this study...

The relatedness of the equine-associated Escherichia coli ST1250 and its single- and double-locus variants (ST1250-SLV/DLV), obtained from horses in Europe, was studied by comparative genome analysis. A total of 54 isolates of E. coli ST1250 and ST1250-SLV/DLV from healthy and hospitalized horses across Europe [Czech Republic (n=23), the Netherland...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading global cause of mortality owing to an infectious agent, accounting for almost one-third of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) deaths annually. We aimed to identify synergistic anti-TB drug combinations with the capacity to restore therapeutic efficacy against drug-resistant mutants of the causative agent, Mycobacterium tu...

Standard therapy [isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol], with or without a macrolide, for pulmonary Mycobacterium kansasii lasts more than a year. Therefore, shorter treatment duration regimens are required. We used data from 32 Taiwanese patients treated with standard therapy who were followed using repetitive sampling-based sputum Mkn time-to-positivi...

Triazole resistance in A. fumigatus is an increasing worldwide problem that causes major challenges in the management of aspergillosis. New antifungal drugs are needed with novel targets, that are effective in triazole-resistant infection. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated potency of the novel drug olorofim compared to contemporary antifu...

The pharmacokinetics and safety of biapenem were studied in 36 healthy adult subjects in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind, sequential single and multiple-ascending dose study using doses from 250 to 1250 mg administered three times a day using 3-hour infusions. Maximum concentrations for biapenem were achieved at the end of the 3-hour...
