The activity of miokamycin (MOM) against Chlamydia trachomatis and mycoplasmas in vitro. 1983

G L Ridgway, and G Mumtaz, and G Gabriel, and J D Oriel

The activity of miokamycin, a new macrolide, was investigated against Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis, in vitro. Miokamycin was found to be similar in activity to doxycycline and erythromycin against Chlam. trachomatis and U. urealyticum. Against Mycopl. hominis, miokamycin had an activity clearly superior to erythromycin.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007933	Leucomycins	An antibiotic complex produced by Streptomyces kitasatoensis. The complex consists of a mixture of at least eight biologically active components, A1 and A3 to A9. Leucomycins have both antibacterial and antimycoplasmal activities.
D009174	Mycoplasma	A genus of gram-negative, mostly facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the family MYCOPLASMATACEAE. The cells are bounded by a PLASMA MEMBRANE and lack a true CELL WALL. Its organisms are pathogens found on the MUCOUS MEMBRANES of humans, ANIMALS, and BIRDS.

D004352	Drug Resistance, Microbial	The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics.
