OBJECTIVES: Ceftriaxone therapy for gonorrhoea has become under increasing pressure due to waning susceptibility levels and emergence of high-level resistant strains such as the FC428 clone. Moenomycin was recently identified to display potent anti-gonococcal activity against some reference strains. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate moenomycin in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activity.
METHODS: Moenomycin in vitro antimicrobial activity was investigated against 575 clinical isolates, including strains associated with the FC428 clone, using the agar dilution method. Moenomycin in vivo activity was investigated in a mouse vaginal tract gonococcal infection model.
RESULTS: The moenomycin MIC range for the strain collection was 0.004-0.06 mg/L, with a MIC50 of 0.016 mg/L and a MIC90 of 0.03 mg/L. The correlation between moenomycin and ceftriaxone susceptibility levels was poor (R = 0.13), while the fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) resulted in indifference for all tested strains. Therefore, development of cross-resistance between moenomycin and ceftriaxone is unlikely for N. gonorrhoeae. Determination of the moenomycin mode of activity against N. gonorrhoeae by time-kill assays showed that moenomycin is bactericidal, with over 104-fold inactivation observed after 4 h exposure. Finally, an intramuscular moenomycin dose of 10 mg/kg given on 2 consecutive days was able to clear a gonococcal infection in a mouse vaginal tract infection model within 1-3 days after the second dose, which was significantly faster than for mice treated with the vehicle control (P < 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: Moenomycin displays potent in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activity against N. gonorrhoeae, warranting further exploration as alternative therapy.
