The oxazolidinones are a promising new class of synthetic antibacterial agents. Here, we review recent efforts directed at the discovery of new antibacterial compounds of this class. New structures and structure-activity relationships (SAR) are discussed in the context of earlier work in the field. Key issues of potency, spectrum, selectivity, in vivo efficacy, and pharmacokinetic profile of the new analogs are addressed.

Duodenal-jejunal bypass ameliorates MASLD in rats by regulating gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism through FXR pathways.
Hepatol Commun
February 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Background: Although bariatric and metabolic surgical methods, including duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB), were shown to improve metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in clinical trials and experimental rodent models, their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study therefore evaluated the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action of DJB in rats with MASLD.
Methods: Rats with MASLD were randomly assigned to undergo DJB or sham surgery.
Intravenous meropenem and intraperitoneal use of 10% aqueous extract of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Anacardiaceae) in elderly rats after induction of autogenous fecal peritonitis.

Purpose: To evaluate intravenous meropenem and intraperitoneal 10% aqueous extract of Schinus terebinthifolius (aroeira) in elderly rats after autogenous fecal peritonitis.
Methods: Thirty 18-month-old Wistar rats underwent peritonitis with 4 mL/kg of autogenous fecal solution. They were stratified into groups: control without treatment; study I, treated with meropenem (40 mg/kg); and study II, treated with meropenem at the same dose and intraperitoneal 10% aqueous extract of aroeira.
Bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid, and moxifloxacin (BPaLM) for multidrug- or rifampin-resistant tuberculosis: a systematic review.
J Bras Pneumol

. Instituto de Doenças do Tórax - IDT - Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro - UFRJ - Rio de Janeiro (RJ) Brasil.
Objective: To evaluate the available evidence comparing the use of the bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid, and moxifloxacin (BPaLM) regimen for 6 months with that of standard-of-care regimens for patients with multidrug-resistant or rifampin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB).
Methods: This was a systematic review of clinical trials comparing the use of the BPaLM regimen with the standard of care in patients with MDR/RR-TB. The main outcome measure was an unfavorable endpoint (a composite of death, treatment failure, treatment discontinuation, loss to follow-up, and recurrence), and secondary outcome measures included adverse events and serious adverse events.
Evaluation of the antibacterial activity of essential oils from oregano (Origanum vulgare) against Escherichia coli strains isolated from meat products.
Braz J Biol

Universidade Federal de Campina Grande - UFCG, Patos, PB, Brasil.
The objective of this study was to analyze the antimicrobial and anti-stick capacity of essential oil extracted from oregano (Origanum vulgare) in relation to various strains of Escherichia coli (Ec 41, Ec 42, Ec 44, Ec 45) isolated from meat products. Techniques such as Determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration were used (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (CBM). Furthermore, the method was used disk diffusion method to examine the interaction between O.

Bovine mastitis is a considerable challenge within the dairy industry, causing significant financial losses and threatening public health. The increased occurrence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has provoked difficulties in managing bovine mastitis. Bacteriophage therapy presents a novel treatment strategy to combat MRSA infections, emerging as a possible substitute for antibiotics.
