TBAJ-876, a second-generation diarylquinoline with greater antimycobacterial activity and a potentially better safety profile compared with bedaquiline, is under development for the treatment of drug-susceptible and drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB). A phase 1, first-in-human study of TBAJ-876, comprising a single-ascending dose (SAD) part including a food effect cohort, a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) part, and a relative bioavailability part of tablets versus oral suspension, was conducted on 137 healthy adults. A drug-drug interaction study was conducted on 28 healthy adults to evaluate the effects of TBAJ-876 on a cytochrome P450 3A4 substrate (midazolam) and a P-glycoprotein substrate (digoxin).

The incidence of small ruminant pestivirus infections in Greece remains unknown as they have not been diagnosed in the country since 1974 when the most recent Border Disease Virus (BDV) outbreak was reported. The objective of our study was to explore the possible occurrence of pestiviral infections among sheep and goat farms in Greece and to further determine the variants of major concern. Thus, serum samples were collected from 470 randomly selected animals belonging to 28 different flocks/herds.

Arctic charr () is a niche-market high-value species for Nordic aquaculture. Similar to other salmonids, both anadromous and landlocked populations are encountered. Whole-genome re-sequencing (22X coverage) was performed on two farmed populations of anadromous (Sigerfjord;  = 24) and landlocked (Arctic Superior;  = 24) origin from Norway and Sweden respectively.

Background And Introduction: The dispersible tablet formulation (DTF) of pretomanid has been developed to facilitate future use in children. This work aimed to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and relative bioavailability of the DTF compared to the marketed formulation (MF) and the potential influence of dose.

Methods: Pretomanid DTF was investigated in a single-dose, randomized, four-period, cross-over study, with 7 days of washout between doses.

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single oral doses of sutezolid tablets administered under fasting conditions in healthy adult subjects. The secondary objective was to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of sutezolid and two metabolites, PNU-101603 and PNU-101244. Overall, sutezolid was well tolerated when administered as a 300-mg, 600-mg, 1,200-mg, or 1,800-mg dose in healthy adult subjects under fasting conditions.
