A series of novel 6-fluoro1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinoline carboxylic acid dimers were synthesized as potential antibacterial agents from commercially available substituted fluorobenzoic acids. A stability indicating HPLC method was developed to determine these novel fluoroquinolone dimers using a systematic method development approach. Samples were subjected to stress conditions of hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis and thermal degradation; and analyzed to demonstrate the specificity and stability indicating ability of the developed method. The precision for all four fluoroquinolone dimers was within 2.0% RSD. Calibration curves were linear (LOQ, 150%), with regression coefficients >0.99 for all dimers. The method was conveniently applied for determining purity and assay of these four novel fluoroquinolone dimers.

Purpose: Psittacosis is an often-neglected cause of community acquired pneumonia (CAP). The limited diagnostic methods for psittacosis pneumonia invariably result in an unfavourable prognosis. Consequently, the early detection of psittacosis pneumonia is crucial.

Type II topoisomerase DNA gyrase transduces the energy of ATP hydrolysis into the negative supercoiling of DNA. The postulated catalytic mechanism involves stabilization of a chiral DNA loop followed by the passage of the T-segment through the temporarily cleaved G-segment resulting in sign inversion. The molecular basis for this is poorly understood as the chiral loop has never been directly observed.

Binary susceptibility phenotypes only capture changes in minimum inhibitory concentration when these cross the critical concentration, even though other changes may be clinically relevant. We developed a machine learning system to predict minimum inhibitory concentration from unassembled whole-genome sequencing data for 13 anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Article Synopsis
- DNA gyrase is a bacterial enzyme made of two GyrA and two GyrB subunits, crucial for introducing negative supercoiling into DNA, which is important for replication and transcription.
- The enzyme can swap its DNA-cleaving interfaces between two active units rapidly, a process facilitated by bending and wrapping DNA, along with the presence of excess GyrB.
- This interface swapping occurs without ATP and suggests a new mechanism for DNA processing by gyrase, challenging previous models of how this enzyme functions.
Discovery of a Series of Indane-Containing NBTIs with Activity against Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens.

The rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria is a major global health problem necessitating the discovery of new classes of antibiotics. Novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors (NBTIs) target the clinically validated bacterial type II topoisomerases with a distinct binding site and mechanism of action to fluoroquinolone antibiotics, thus avoiding cross-resistance to this drug class. Here we report the discovery of a series of NBTIs incorporating a novel indane DNA binding moiety.
