ABSTRACT We assessed the effects of hydroxyurea (HU) at a concentration of 50 μM on the in vitro activities of 2′,3′-dideoxyinosine (ddI), 9-[2-(phosphonylmethoxy)ethyl]adenine (PMEA), and 9-[2-(phosphonylmethoxy)propyl]adenine (PMPA) against a wild-type human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 (HIV-1) laboratory isolate and a panel of five well-characterized drug-resistant HIV isolates. Fifty micromolar HU significantly increased the activities of ddI, PMEA, and PMPA against both the wild-type and the drug-resistant HIV-1 isolates. In fixed combinations, both ddI and PMEA were synergistic with HU against wild-type and drug-resistant viruses.

ABSTRACT We evaluated the in vitro activity of rifamycin derivatives, including rifampin, rifapentine, rifaximin, and rifabutin, against clinical nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolates. Of the rifamycin derivatives, rifabutin showed the lowest MICs against all NTM species, including Mycobacterium avium complex, M. abscessus, and M. kansasii. Rifabutin also had effective in vitro activity against macrolide- and aminoglycoside-resistant NTM isolates. Rifabutin could be worth considering as a therapeutic option for NTM disease, particularly drug-resistant disease.
