Article Abstract

Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) can be challenging to treat because they are often resistant to many other antimicrobial agents. We assessed the susceptibility of 29 MRSP isolates from dogs to taurolidine in vitro. There was no growth at 0.12% taurolidine and light growth at 0.06% for all isolates. Taurolidine was reliable at inhibiting growth of MRSP at a concentration of 1,200 µg/mL.

The overprescription of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture has accelerated the development and spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which severely limits the arsenal available to clinicians for treating bacterial infections. This work discovered a new class of heteroarylcyanovinyl quinazolones and quinazolone pyridiniums to surmount the increasingly severe bacterial resistance. Bioactive assays manifested that the highly active compound exhibited strong inhibition against MRSA and with extremely low MICs of 0.
