Abstract Background Ibezapolstat (ACX-362E) is the first DNA polymerase IIIC inhibitor undergoing clinical development for the oral treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). Methods In this study, the in vitro activity of ibezapolstat was evaluated against a panel of 104 isolates of C. difficile, including those with characterized ribotypes (e.g. 027 and 078) and those producing toxin A or B and was shown to have similar activity to those of comparators against these strains. Results The overall MIC50/90 (mg/L) for ibezapolstat against evaluated C. difficile was 2/4, compared with 0.5/4 for metronidazole, 1/4 for vancomycin and 0.5/2 for fidaxomicin. In addition, the bactericidal activity of ibezapolstat was evaluated against actively growing C. difficile by determining the MBC against three C. difficile isolates. Time–kill kinetic assays were additionally performed against the three C. difficile isolates, with metronidazole and vancomycin as comparators. Conclusions The killing of C. difficile by ibezapolstat was observed to occur at concentrations similar to its MIC, as demonstrated by MBC:MIC ratios and reflected in time–kill kinetic assays. This activity highlights the therapeutic potential of ibezapolstat for the treatment of CDI.

Abstract Clofazimine has demonstrated in vitro activity against many nontuberculous mycobacteria. We present the case of a woman with cystic fibrosis who developed disseminated macrolide-resistant Mycobacterium avium infection following lung transplantation treated in part with clofazimine. We describe the novel administration of clofazimine via gastrostomy tube.

ABSTRACT The in vitro activity of the novel quinolone DX-619 was compared to those of currently available quinolones against U.S. clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci, Enterococcus spp., Streptococcus pyogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. DX-619 was the most potent quinolone overall, indicating possible utility as an anti-gram-positive quinolone.
