Disease relevance of Nalidixin

  • METHODS: All 4953 campylobacter isolates from humans received by the Minnesota Department of Health were tested for resistance to nalidixic acid [1].
  • Norfloxacin, an orally administered quinoline carboxylic acid that is structurally related to nalidixic acid, has been shown to be highly active in vitro against penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae [2].
  • The nalidixic acid inhibition is not observed in an E. coli strain containing a nalAr mutation [3].
  • The observation is important because multiply-resistant Enterobacteriaceae maintain their sensitivity to nalidixic acid since extrachromosomal R-factor resistance to nalidixic acid has never been demonstrated and cannot be transferred from one organism to another [4].
  • Nalidixic acid and oxolinic acid were noted to be quite effective in vitro against shigellae and perhaps warrant further clinical study as potential agents for therapy of shigellosis, especially in view of the appearance of isolates with multiple resistance [5].
