RESUMO
Twelve beta-lactam antibiotics were tested for activity against Mycobacterium leprae growing in the foot pads of mice. Two cephalosporins (7-aminocephalosporanic acid and cefuroxime) and one cephamycin (cefoxitin) showed significant activity against M. leprae, and one penicillin (mezlocillin) exerted possible growth-promoting activity. These results suggest that particular molecular structures may be required for activity against M. leprae.
