Susceptibility of Helicobacter pylori to mupirocin, oxazolidinones, quinupristin/dalfopristin and new quinolones

TLDR
The in vitro activities of mupirocin, quinupristin/dalfopristin, linezolid, eperezolid, sitafloxacin, clinafloxacIn, moxifloxacsin, amoxycillin, metronidazole and clarithromycin were tested against 57 strains of Helicobacter pylori to find the most active and least active agents.
Abstract
The in vitro activities of mupirocin, quinupristin/dalfopristin, linezolid, eperezolid, sitafloxacin, clinafloxacin, moxifloxacin, amoxycillin, metronidazole and clarithromycin were tested at pH 7.4 against 57 strains of Helicobacter pylori. The most active agents (mupirocin, sitafloxacin and clinafloxacin) were also tested for activity at pH 5.4 against the same strains. Mupirocin was very active at pH 7.4 and 5.4 (MIC90 0.25 and 0.12 mg/L, respectively). Quinupristin/dalfopristin, linezolid and eperezolid had low activity (MIC90 4, 8 and 4 mg/L, respectively). Sitafloxacin (MIC90 </= 0.008 mg/L) was the most active fluoroquinolone, while clinafloxacin (MIC90 0.12 mg/L) and moxifloxacin (MIC90 2 mg/L) were least active.

TL;DR: A quadruple therapy has been generally recommended as rescue regimen for Helicobacter pylori eradication failures.

Levofloxacin-Based Triple Therapy versus Bismuth-Based Quadruple Therapy for Persistent Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: A 10-day course levofloxacin-based triple therapy is more effective and better tolerated than 7-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy in the treatment of persistent H. pylori infection.

Single and Double Mutations in gyrA but Not in gyrB Are Associated with Low- and High-Level Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Helicobacter pylori

TL;DR: The six resistant clinical strains and three ciprofloxacin-selected single-step mutants studied carried one gyrA mutation but none in gyrB, and fluoroquinolones were the most active fluoroquolones against these mutants.

A 10-day levofloxacin-based triple therapy in patients who have failed two eradication courses.

TL;DR: A standard third‐line treatment is lacking, and European guidelines recommend performing culture in patients, but the use of this procedure as ‘routine practice’ is definitively not feasible.

Primary levofloxacin resistance and gyrA/B mutations among Helicobacter pylori in Japan.

TL;DR: The use of levofloxacin‐containing therapy as a treatment for Helicobacter pylori eradication has been considered a promising regimen, but there is a little information concerning the prevalence of lev ofl Oxacin resistance and this resistance mechanism.

Comparison of the antibacterial activities of the quinolones Bay 12-8039, gatifloxacin (AM 1155), trovafloxacin, clinafloxacin, levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin.

TL;DR: Against gram-positive cocci, the only agents that were more active than ciprofloxacin were those carrying an azabicyclo (trovafloxacIn, Bay 12-8039), 3-amino-pyrrolidinyl (clinafloxACin) or 3-methyl-piperazinyl (gatiflOxacin) moiety at position C7.

Interpretive criteria for testing susceptibility of staphylococci to mupirocin.

TL;DR: To determine appropriate mupirocin susceptibility testing interpretive criteria, 177 staphylococci were tested by agar dilution, disk diffusion, and E test andE test was found to be a reliable method for determining susceptibility of staphyleococci to m upirocin.
