Bacterial resistance remains one of the biggest obstacles to antibiotic efficacy and spurs the constant search for next-generation antimicrobials. Oxacins can kill bacteria by inhibiting the activity of DNA gyrase. As potential next-generation oxacin-like drugs, researchers at Southwest University and collaborators have developed thiazolylcyanovinyl benzopyridone acids, among which the ethyl compound [I] turned out to be effective at killing several gram-negative and -positive bacterial strains in vitro as well as Klebsiella pneumonia in biofilms. It also eliminated wound infection in mice, without causing obvious off-target toxicity.
While the discussions and votes at the past two meetings of the U.S. CDC Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) have generated a lot of controversy and resulted in some states and medical groups issuing their own vaccine schedules, the truth is that the newly reconstituted committee’s recommendations to date are still in line with, or more generous in some instances than, global norms.
