Resistance to beta-lactams has created a major clinical issue. QPX7728 is a novel ultrabroad-spectrum cyclic boronic acid beta-lactamase inhibitor with activity against both serine and metallo-beta-lactamases developed to address this resistance for use in combination with beta-lactam antibiotics. The objective of these studies was to evaluate the activity of QPX7728 in combination with multiple beta-lactams against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in a neutropenic mouse thigh infection model. Neutropenic mice were infected with strains with potentiated beta-lactam MICs of ≤2 mg/liter in the presence of 8 mg/liter QPX7728. Two strains of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae were tested with aztreonam, biapenem, cefepime, ceftazidime, ceftolozane, and meropenem alone or in combination with 12.5, 25, or 50 mg/kg of body weight of QPX7728 every 2 hours for 24 hours. Treatment with all beta-lactams alone either was bacteriostatic or allowed for bacterial growth. The combination of QPX7728 plus each of these beta-lactams produced bacterial killing at all QPX7728 doses tested. Overall, these data suggest that QPX7728 administered in combination with different partner beta-lactam antibiotics may have utility in the treatment of bacterial infections due to carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae.Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are often preferred as oral step-down therapy for bloodstream infections (BSIs) due to favorable pharmacokinetic parameters; however, they are also associated with serious adverse events. The objective of this study was to compare clinical outcomes for patients who received an oral FQ versus an oral beta-lactam (BL) as step-down therapy for uncomplicated streptococcal BSIs. This multicenter, retrospective cohort study analyzed adult patients who completed therapy with an oral FQ or BL with at least one blood culture positive for a Streptococcus species from 1 January 2014 to 30 June 2019. The primary outcome was clinical success, defined as the lack of all-cause mortality, recurrent BSI with the same organism, and infection-related readmission at 90 days. A multivariable logistic regression model for predictors of clinical failure was conducted. A total of 220 patients were included, with 87 (40%) receiving an FQ and 133 (60%) receiving a BL. Step-down therapy with an oral BL was noninferior to an oral FQ (93.2% versus 92.0%; mean difference, 1.2%; 90% confidence interval [CI], -5.2 to 7.8). No differences were seen in 90-day mortality, 90-day recurrent BSI, 90-day infection-related readmission, or 90-day incidence of Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea. Predictors of clinical failure included oral step-down transition before day 3 (odds ratio [OR] = 5.18; 95% CI, 1.21, 22.16) and low-dose oral step-down therapy (OR = 2.74; 95% CI, 0.95, 7.90). Our results suggest that oral step-down therapy for uncomplicated streptococcal BSI with a BL is noninferior to an FQ.Delayed clearance of Plasmodium falciparum by artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) has already been observed for African isolates. Here, we aimed to investigate the prevalence, among travelers returning from African countries, of polymorphisms in two genes correlated with delayed parasite clearance (encoding P. falciparum Kelch 13 [PfK13] and ubiquitin-specific protease 1 [pfubp1]) reported in eastern China and to provide baseline data for antimalarial drug resistance (ART) surveillance and evaluation. A total of 153 filter paper blood spots collected in 2017-2019 from patients with uncomplicated P. falciparum cases in Anhui and Shandong Provinces were included in this study. Among them, 3.3% (5/153) of the isolates carried PfK13 mutations, and 3 of them harbored the same synonymous mutation, C469C. A total of 13.1% (20/153) of the isolates were found to contain pfubp1 mutations, and all were nonsynonymous. The pfubp1 genotypes associated with ART that occurred in this study included E1528D (6.5% [10/153]) and D1525E (2.6% [4/153]). However, a high prevalence of the previously unreported mutation E1531D (5.9% [9/153]) was also detected. In addition, two types of deletions (encoding KID and KIE, respectively) and two types of insertions (encoding KYE and KYDKYD, respectively) were found in 16 isolates and 6 isolates, respectively. This study showed limited variation in PfK13 among travelers returning from African countries and suggested other potential molecular markers, such as pfubp1, for use in the surveillance of African isolates in ACT susceptibility studies. Further clinical trial research is under way to investigate these PfK13 and pfubp1 mutations, as well as other candidate molecular markers, and their roles in delaying parasite clearance.RO7049389, an inhibitor of hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid assembly, is being developed for the treatment of patients with chronic HBV infection. The objectives of this first-in-human study are to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), food effect, inhibitory effect on CYP3A, and effect on QT of RO7049389 in healthy participants. Five components, single-ascending-dose (SAD) cohorts, multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) cohorts, food effect assessment, drug-drug interaction assessment, and concentration-QT analysis were integrated in one study (five-in-one). Participants randomly received a single dose of 150 to 2,500 mg RO7049389 or placebo in SAD cohorts (n = 41), or multiple doses of 200 to 800 mg RO7049389 or placebo in MAD cohorts (n = 42). A single doses of 450 mg RO7049389 was administered under fasted and fed condition. The microdose of midazolam was administered before and after multiple dosing of RO7049389. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/vardenafil.html Safety and tolerability were monitored throughout the study. Serial blood and urine samples were collected for the PK analysis. RO7049389 was safe and well tolerated in healthy participants. Absorption and elimination of RO7049389 occurred rapidly in plasma with minimal recovery in urine. Greater than dose-proportional increases in plasma exposure were observed. Exposure of RO7049389 (450 mg) increased by ∼2-fold when administered with a high-fat meal. The inhibition effect of RO7049389 on CYP3A was weak ( less then 20%). No effect on QT interval was observed at up to a single dose of 2,500 mg. RO7049389 displayed a favorable safety, tolerability and PK profile suitable for further clinical development. (This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with the identifier NCT02952924.).
