ABSTRACT: Background
The antimicrobial activities of some new oxazolidinones against slowly growing mycobacteria (SGM) have never been well evaluated.Methods
We evaluate the in vitro susceptibility of 20 reference strains and 157 clinical isolates, pertaining different SGM species, against four oxazolidinones, ie, delpazolid, sutezolid, tedizolid and linezolid. In addition, the association of linezolid resistance and mutations in 23srRNA, rplC, rplD were also tested.Results
Sutezolid presented the strongest antimicrobial activity against the clinical isolates of M. intracellulare than the other oxazolidinones, with MIC50 at 2 μg/mL and MIC90 at 4 μg/mL. MICs of sutezolid were usually 4- to 8-fold lower than these of linezolid against M. intracellulare and M. avium. The tested isolates of M. kansasii were susceptible to all of the four oxazolidinones. According to the multiple sequence alignment, novel 23srRNA mutations (A2267C and A2266G) in M. intracellulare and rplD mutations (Thr147Ala) in M. avium were identified in this study which have plausible involvement in rendering resistance against linezolid.Conclusion
This study showed that sutezolid harbors the strongest inhibitory activity against M. intracellulare, M. avium and M. kansasii in vitro, which provided important insights on the potential clinical application of oxazolidinones for treating SGM infections.
