Activity of KRM 1648 alone or in combination with ethambutol or clarithromycin against Mycobacterium avium in beige mouse model of disseminated infection.
Rifamycins are active against slowly growing mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium kansasii, but the majority of rifamycins thus far investigated both in vitro and in vivo are inactive or have only modest activity against the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). We investigated the activity of three doses of the semisynthetic benzoxazinorifamycin KRM 1648, alone or in...
متن کاملComparative activities of azithromycin and clarithromycin against Mycobacterium avium infection in beige mice.
The comparative activities of azithromycin (AZI) and clarithromycin (CLA) against eight Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) isolates were evaluated in the beige mouse model of disseminated infection. Mice were infected intravenously with approximately 10(7) viable MAC isolate. AZI at 100 or 200 mg/kg of body weight or CLA at 200 mg/kg of body weight was given by gavage daily for 10 days starting ...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of azithromycin, clarithromycin, L-ofloxacin, and other antibiotics against Chlamydia pneumoniae.
The in vitro susceptibilities of 11 strains of Chlamydia pneumoniae to azithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin, L-oflaxacin, and doxycycline were determined. Clarithromycin was the most active agent tested, with an MIC for 90% of strains and minimal chlamydiacidal concentration for 90% of strains of 0.03 microns/ml. The activity of azithromycin was similar to those of erythromycin and doxycy...
متن کاملActivity of clarithromycin alone and in combination in a murine model of Mycobacterium kansasii infection.
Activities of clarithromycin alone and in combination with rifampicin, gatifloxacin or linezolid were evaluated against Mycobacterium kansasii in a murine infection model. Clarithromycin was the most active single agent. Rifampicin and gatifloxacin had similar activities, but were less active than clarithromycin. Clarithromycin in combination with rifampicin was the most active combination ther...
متن کاملActivities of Rifampin, Rifapentine and Clarithromycin Alone and in Combination against Mycobacterium ulcerans Disease in Mice
BACKGROUND treatment of Mycobacterium ulcerans disease, or Buruli ulcer (BU), has shifted from surgery to treatment with streptomycin(STR)+rifampin(RIF) since 2004 based on studies in a mouse model and clinical trials. We tested two entirely oral regimens for BU treatment, rifampin(RIF)+clarithromycin(CLR) and rifapentine(RPT)+clarithromycin(CLR) in the mouse model. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FIND...
