Pleuromutilin Binding, Ribosome Footprinting, and Resistance
2026-09-11
The reference study combines chemical footprinting, ribosome analysis, and resistance testing to define how pleuromutilin antibiotics occupy the bacterial peptidyl transferase center. Its central implication is that the conserved mutilin core anchors binding, whereas derivative-specific side-chain contacts can determine activity against altered ribosomal surfaces.

Temafloxacin Activity Against Gram-Positive Bacteria
2026-09-10
The 1991 reference study combined broth microdilution testing of bloodstream isolates with a literature review to define Temafloxacin’s enhanced in-vitro activity against clinically important Gram-positive cocci. Its findings provide a useful framework for interpreting MIC data under changes in pH, serum, urine, magnesium, and inoculum conditions, while also clarifying the limits of extrapolating historical in-vitro results to other infection models.
