ABSTRACT
Clostridioides difficile infection is a global public health threat. Extensive in vitro assays using clinical isolates have identified micrococcin P2 (MP2, 1) as a particularly effective anti-C. difficile agent. MP2 possesses a mode of action that differs from other antibiotics and pharmacokinetic properties that render it especially promising. Its time-kill studies have been investigated using hypervirulent C. difficile ribotype 027. DSS (dextran sulfate sodium)-induced in vivo mouse studies with that strain indicate that 1 is better than vancomycin and fidaxomicin. Thus, micrococcin P2 is a valuable platform to be exploited for the development of new anti-C. difficile antibiotics.
