We evaluated the activity of the novel semisynthetic pleuromutilin lefamulin, inhibiting protein synthesis and growth, and the effect of efflux pump inactivation on clinical gonococcal isolates and reference strains ( = 251), including numerous multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant isolates. Lefamulin showed potent activity against all gonococcal isolates, and no significant cross-resistance to other antimicrobials was identified. Further studies of lefamulin are warranted, including selection and mechanisms of resistance, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, optimal dosing, and performance in randomized controlled trials.
我们评估了新型半合成截短侧耳素类利福霉素 lefamulin 的活性,该药物可抑制蛋白质合成和生长,并评估了外排泵失活对临床淋病奈瑟菌分离株和参考株(=251 株)的影响,包括许多多药耐药和广泛耐药的分离株。 lefamulin 对所有淋病奈瑟菌分离株均显示出强大的活性,且未发现与其他抗菌药物的显著交叉耐药性。 lefamulin 的进一步研究是必要的,包括耐药性的选择和机制、药代动力学/药效学、最佳剂量和随机对照试验中的表现。
