Ceftobiprole was recently approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adult patients with bacteremia, including right-side endocarditis, acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections, and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia in adults and pediatrics. Ceftobiprole is an advanced-generation cephalosporin approved in many countries for the treatment of adults with community-acquired pneumonia and hospital-acquired pneumonia, excluding ventilator-associated pneumonia. We evaluated the activities of ceftobiprole and comparators against methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinical isolates.

Background/objectives: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a malignant liver tumor with a rising global incidence and poor prognosis, largely due to late-stage diagnosis and limited effective treatment options. Standard chemotherapy regimens, including cisplatin and gemcitabine, often fail because of the development of multidrug resistance (MDR), leaving patients with few alternative therapies. Doxycycline, a tetracycline antibiotic, has demonstrated antitumor effects across various cancers, influencing cancer cell viability, apoptosis, and stemness.

Human challenge experiments could accelerate tuberculosis vaccine development. This requires a safe Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strain that can both replicate in the host and be reliably cleared. Here we genetically engineered Mtb strains encoding up to three kill switches: two mycobacteriophage lysin operons negatively regulated by tetracycline and a degron domain-NadE fusion, which induces ClpC1-dependent degradation of the essential enzyme NadE, negatively regulated by trimethoprim.
