The MIC(90) of RBx 14255, a novel ketolide, against Clostridium difficile was 4 μg/ml (MIC range, 0.125 to 8 μg/ml), and this drug was found to be more potent than comparator drugs. An in vitro time-kill kinetics study of RBx 14255 showed time-dependent bacterial killing for C. difficile. Furthermore, in the hamster model of C. difficile infection, RBx 14255 demonstrated greater efficacy than metronidazole and vancomycin, making it a promising candidate for C. difficile treatment.
新型酮内酯 RBx 14255 对艰难梭菌的 MIC(90)为 4 μg/ml(MIC 范围为 0.125 至 8 μg/ml),该药物的活性强于对照药物。RBx 14255 的体外时间杀菌动力学研究显示,其对艰难梭菌具有时间依赖性杀菌作用。此外,在艰难梭菌感染的仓鼠模型中,RBx 14255 的疗效优于甲硝唑和万古霉素,使其成为艰难梭菌治疗的有希望的候选药物。
