Abstract
Evidence is provided that solithromycin is a bactericidal against not only fast-growing chlamydial organisms but also those slowed by gamma interferon (IFN-γ) in vitro At sublethal concentrations, Sol impedes homotypic fusion of Chlamydia-containing vacuoles and reduces secretion of the type III secretion (T3S) effector IncA. Sol may therefore represent a potential new clinical treatment for Chlamydia infections. Selective perturbation of the T3S system suggests a novel mode of antibacterial action for Sol that warrants further investigation.
