  • Patent number: 12257241
    Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for increased clinical efficacy of rifabutin against A. baumannii. The invention takes advantage of the discovery of a ferric-coprogen (FhuE) receptor that is responsible for the uptake of rifabutin into A. baumannii cells. Methods preferably include obtaining a sample from a patient suspected of having an infection; performing a test on the sample to identify an infection of A. baumannii in the patient; and providing a formulation of rifabutin for treating the patient that, when administered to the patient, maximizes a resultant AUC and/or Cmax. The method may include administering the formulation of rifabutin to the patient. Preferably the formulation is delivered to the patient, e.g., by intravenous injection and results in a Cmax is that greater than about 2 mg/L and optionally less than about 50 mg/L.

  • Patent number: 9682079
    Abstract: The invention relates to compounds and pharmaceutical compositions useful in combination with tetracyclines in the treatment of bacterial infections caused by Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, with particular efficacy in tetracycline resistant strains. These compounds specifically bind to TetR and therefore prevent the transcriptional activation of tet resistance genes. The compounds have a potentiating effect on the activity of members of the tetracycline family, in particular of tetracycline, minocycline, doxycycline and tigecycline, in the treatment of tetracycline susceptible, intermediate and tetracycline resistant pathogens.
