Abstract

A potent new antimicrobial candidate drug that shares enzyme targets—but has alternate binding sites—with fluoroquinolones was featured during the poster summary session “Early New Antimicrobial Agents” at the 2014 Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) in Washington, D.C., last September. Other promising drug candidates are several novel cephalosporins, including one that carries a siderophore, a β-lactamase inhibitor that helps to overcome resistance in pathogens to β-lactam antibiotics, and an antifungal agent with an unusual mechanism.
