Macrolactin A (McA) is a secondary metabolite produced by Bacillus species. It has been known for its antimicrobial properties since the late 1980s, although the exact mechanism of its antibacterial activity remains unknown. In this study, we have found that McA is an inhibitor of protein synthesis in bacteria.

Ketolides (3-keto) such as TE-802 and acylides (3-O-acyl) like TEA0929 are ineffective against constitutively resistant pathogens harboring erythromycin ribosomal methylation (erm) genes. Following our previous work on alkylides (3-O-alkyl), we explored the structure-activity relationships of hybrids combining (R/S) 3-descladinosyl erythromycin with 6/7-quinolone motifs, featuring extended ether-linked spacers, with a focus on their efficacy against pathogens bearing constitutive erm gene resistance. Optimized compounds 17a and 31f not only reinstated efficacy against inducibly resistant pathogens but also demonstrated significantly augmented activities against constitutively resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes, which are typically refractory to existing C-3 modified macrolides.

We report here on the structure-activity relationships of hybrids combining 3-descladinosyl clarithromycin with quinolones linked by extended diamine connectors. Several hybrids, exemplified by 23Bc, 23Be, 23Bf, 26Be, and 30Bc, not only restored potency against inducibly resistant pathogens but also exhibited significantly enhanced activities against constitutively resistant strains of Staphylococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus pyogenes, which express high-level resistance independent of clarithromycin or erythromycin induction. Additionally, the novel hybrids showed susceptibility against Gram-negative Haemophilus influenzae.

Background: Veterinary hospital antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) guidelines might help combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Objectives: Determine the conditions and types of infection for which antimicrobial drugs (AMDs) deemed critically important (CIA) by the World Health Organization (WHO) were prescribed and assess the effect of hospital AMS guidelines on adherence to International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases published guidelines for the treatment of superficial bacterial folliculitis, respiratory tract disease and urinary tract infection in these cases.
Animals: Dogs and cats managed at an academic veterinary hospital from 1/21 to 6/21 and 9/21 to 6/22.

A series of novel C11 substituted 14-membered 2-fluoro ketolides were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against erythromycin-resistant and erythromycin-susceptible clinical isolates and strains from ATCC. The overall antibacterial spectra of the semi-synthetic antibiotics are similar to that of telithromycin (TEL) and most of them exhibited excellent activity against Gram-positive bacteria (S. epidermidis, S.
