Abstract
The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria highlight the need for new antibacterial interventions. A screening of 24 newly synthesized dibenzoxazepines identified a small molecule compound, SW14, with potent inhibitory activity against intracellular multidrug-resistant and fluoroquinolone-resistant strains of S. typhimurium in macrophages and epithelial cells. Moreover, intra-macrophagic Salmonella typhi, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Listeria monocytogenes and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus are also susceptible to SW14. Overall, our findings suggest that SW14 has a broad-spectrum activity against intracellular bacteria.
