Description	Gamithromycin is an antimicrobial agent which can inhibit the growth of MmmSC strains B237 and Tan8 with MICs of 0.00012 and 0.00006 μg/mL, respectively.
Related Catalog	Signaling Pathways >> Anti-infection >> Bacterial Research Areas >> Infection
Target	MIC: 0.00012 μg/mL (MmmSC strain B237), 0.00006μg/mL (MmmSC strain Tan8)[1]
In Vitro	The MIC values in serum are significantly lower than those in artificial medium; at an initial inoculum size of 106 cfu/mL, these are 64-, 8- and 64-fold lower for gamithromycin, tylosin and tilmicosin, respectively, against MmmSC strain B237 in serum compare to artificial medium. A similar pattern emerges for Tan8. Heat-inactivation of serum results in an MIC for gamithromycin that is higher than in either non-treated serum or artificial medium[1].
In Vivo	The proportion of foals that recover without the need for a change in treatment is significantly (P<0.048) higher for foals treated with Gamithromycin (GAM) (38 of 40; 95%) or AZM-RIF (39 of 40; 98%) compare to control foals (32 of 41; 78%). The clinical scores, number of abscesses and the abscess scores after 1 and 2 weeks of treatment are significantly lower for foals treated with Gamithromycin (GAM) or AZM-RIF compare to control foals. The WBC count of foals treated with Gamithromycin (GAM) is significantly higher than that of foals treated with AZM-RIF on week 3 of treatment[2].
Cell Assay	Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for gamithromycin, tylosin and tilmicosin against MmmSC strains B237 and Tan8 are determined using a macrodilution technique. Equal volumes of MmmSC culture in logarithmic phase are added to each antimicrobial dilution to give an inoculum size of 107 cfu/mL, i.e. the intending initial titre for subsequent time-kill assays, in a volume of 4 mL. Cultures are incubated for 24 h at 37°C. At 0 and 24 h time points, samples are removed and serially diluted 10-fold down to 10-5. Aliquots (10 μL) of each dilution are transferred to solid medium; after incubation at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% carbon dioxide in air for at least 4 days, colonies are counted from the dilution that yields between 30 and 300 colonies per plate. Counts are converted into cfu/mL and MIC is defined as the lowest concentration of antimicrobial that prevents an increase in cfu/mL over 24 h[1].
Animal Admin	Foals with ultrasonographic evidence of pulmonary abscesses are randomly assigned in 3 treatment groups: (1)gamithromycin at a dose of 6.0 mg/kg body weight is administered in the semimembranosus/semitendinosus muscles once a week (GAM; n=40); (2) azithromycin at a dose of 10 mg/kg PO once daily in combination with rifampin at a dose of 10 mg/kg PO once daily (AZM-RIF; n=40); and (3) no antimicrobial treatment (controls; n=41). All the foals in each treatment group also receive acetylcysteine at a dose of 10 mg/kg PO a day to provide the same daily manipulation of the foals in each group[2].
