ABSTRACT
Gepotidacin is a novel agent in development for treatment of gonorrhea and uncomplicated urinary tract infection. This study determined the effect of urine on the in vitro activity of gepotidacin and levofloxacin against relevant bacteria. Study strains were tested by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute broth microdilution and with method variations CAMHB with 25%, 50%, 100% urine and pH adjusted 100% urine. Mean dilution difference (DD) of urine minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) were <1 dilution of CAMHB MICs with some exceptions Gepotidacin mean DD Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus saprophyticus 100% urine (1.5 and 1.2, respectively) and S. saprophyticus pH 7.3 and 8.1 adjusted 100% urine (1.5 and 1.4, respectively); Levofloxacin mean DD S. saprophyticus pH 7.3 adjusted 100% urine (1.5) and all species pH 8.1 adjusted 100% urine (1.2-1.8). Effects of urine on gepotidacin and levofloxacin MICs was minimal and not inclusive of all strains. Further analysis is warranted to fully assess the impact of urine on gepotidacin activity.
