Ceftaroline: a Cephalosporin with Anti-MRSA Activity

Clinical Microbiology Newsletter, 2011
Abstract Ceftaroline is a cephalosporin antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including contemporary resistant gram-positive phenotypes, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae , and penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae .

Evaluation of the Potential Probiotic Yeast Characteristics with Anti-MRSA Abilities

Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins, 2022
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a disreputable pathogenic bacterium that has been proven to colonize the intestinal tract. The goal of this study is to find anti-MRSA probiotic yeast from food and evaluate its probiotic characteristics and safety. Finally, 15 strains were isolated from fruit peel with anti-MRSA ability.

The bacterial envelope as a target for novel anti-MRSA antibiotics

Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) are spreading worldwide, making the search for antibiotics directed against new targets a high priority. Drugs that anchor in the bacterial membrane (e.g. ceragenins and lipopeptides) or that target the bacterial membrane and proteic (lipoglycopeptides) or ...

Novel dithiocarbamate carbapenems1 with anti-MRSA activity

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 1997
Abstract A new series of carbapenems, in which disubstituted-aminothiocarbonylthio moiety, directly attached to the C-2 position, were prepared and evaluated for their antibacterial potency. These analogs showed potent activity against high-level MRSA. Among them, 9e and 9i were found to exhibit good in vivo efficacy comparable to that of vancomycin,

Benzothiazolylthio carbapenems: potent anti-MRSA agents

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 1995
Abstract A series of sulfur-linked benzothiazolyl carbapenems has been prepared and evaluated against a battery of microorganisms. Many of the compounds displayed good activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Data is presented which delimits the pharmacophore and provides a preliminary SAR.

Anti-MRSA activity of chlorophenyl pyrrolo benzodiazepines compound

The Journal of Antibiotics
Antibiotic resistant is the major concern in public health to control the infectious diseases. MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is a significant concern in healthcare settings due to its resistance to many antibiotics, including methicillin and other beta-lactams.

A new anti-MRSA dipeptide, TAN-1057 A

Tetrahedron, 1993
Abstract The chemical structure of a new dipeptide antibiotic, TAN-1057 A, isolated from the broth filtrate of Flexibacter sp. PK-74 was determined to be (3′S, 5S)-5-[N-methyl-N-(3′-amino-6′-guanidinohexanoyl)amino]5,6-dihydro-2-ureido-4(1H)-pyrimidone.

In vitro antimicrobial activity of T-91825, a novel anti-MRSA cephalosporin, and in vivo anti-MRSA activity of its prodrug, TAK-599

Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 2004
TAK-599 is a water-soluble prodrug of a cephalosporin compound, T-91825. In vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities of T-91825 and TAK-599, respectively, were examined. T-91825 was active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, unlike vancomycin and linezolid, which are inactive against gram-negative bacteria.

Peer Comparison of Anti-MRSA Agent Prescription in the Inpatient Setting

Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 2017
Peer comparison has potential as an effective antimicrobial stewardship intervention in the inpatient setting. We report a new metric, days of therapy per 100 service days, for comparing antibiotic utilization. Among 14 prescribers on the primary infectious diseases service during a 6-month period, we identified 1 outlier for each anti-MRSA agent ...

Rationale of Antibiotics Anti-MRSA in Pneumonia

2013
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium causing a broad variety of infections, ranging from minor skin infections to severe pneumonia and sepsis. The genetic adaptation occurred after the introduction of meticillin into clinical practice in the 1960s [1] has led to a multidrug-resistant pathogen, meticillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA).
