Abstract
The in vitro activities of the N,N-dimethylglycylamido derivatives of minocycline (DMG-MINO) and 6-demethyl-6-deoxytetracycline (DMG-DMDOT) were compared with those of minocycline, tetracycline, clindamycin, and metronidazole by using the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards-approved Wadsworth agar dilution method. The MICs of DMG-MINO, DMG-DMDOT, and metronidazole at which 90% of the strains were susceptible (0.5, 1, and 1 micrograms/ml, respectively) were lower than those for clindamycin, minocycline, and tetracycline (4, 8, and 32 micrograms/ml, respectively). All of the strains of anaerobes tested, except one strain of Bacteroides ovatus (MIC, 16 micrograms/ml), were susceptible to DMG-MINO and DMG-DMDOT at 8 micrograms/ml.
