Apramycin is a unique aminoglycoside with a dissociation of antibacterial activity and ototoxicity. We assessed the antibacterial efficacy of apramycin in two murine models of infection, Mycobacterium tuberculosis aerosol infection and Staphylococcus aureus septicemia. In both infection models, the efficacy of apramycin was comparable to that of amikacin. These results suggest that apramycin has the potential to become a clinically useful agent against drug-resistant pathogens and support further development of this promising unique aminoglycoside.
阿普拉霉素是一种具有独特抗菌活性和耳毒性解离特性的氨基糖苷类抗生素。我们在两种小鼠感染模型(结核分枝杆菌气溶胶感染和金黄色葡萄球菌败血症)中评估了阿普拉霉素的抗菌效果。在这两种感染模型中,阿普拉霉素的疗效与阿米卡星相当。这些结果表明,阿普拉霉素有潜力成为一种临床上对抗耐药病原体有用的药物,并支持进一步开发这种有前景的独特氨基糖苷类抗生素。
