Abstract

Multidrug-resistant bacteria infect companion Animals and livestock in addition to their devastating impact on human health. Novel Bacterial Topoisomerase Inhibitors (NBTIs) with excellent activity against Gram-positive bacteria have previously been identified as promising new Antibacterial agents. Herein, we evaluate the Antibacterial activity of these NBTIs against a variety of important veterinary pathogens and demonstrate outstanding in vitro activity, especially against staphylococci.
