Abstract

Novel antimicrobials are needed to treat rising nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections. Using standard broth microdilution methods, 68 NTM isolates were tested against gepotidacin, a new, first-in-class, oral triazaacenaphthylene bacterial topoisomerase inhibitor. MICs varied (0.25 to >64 µg/mL) with the lowest being M. fortuitum complex (0.25-8 µg/mL), M. mucogenicum complex (1-2 µg/mL), M. kansasii (0.25-8 µg/mL), and M. marinum (4-16 µg/mL). Testing greater numbers of some species is suggested to better understand gepotidacin activity against NTM.
