New Antibiotic Class Approved; First Since 1991

The FDA gave a thumbs up to telithromycin, the first in a new class of antibiotics called ketolides.

Telithromycin was approved by the FDA for treatment against infections caused by susceptible strains, such as acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis due to S.pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae or Moraxella catarrhalis; acute bacterial sinusitis due to S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis or Staphylococcus aureaus; and community-acquired pneumonia, of mild -to-moderate severity, due to S. pneumoniae, multidrug-resistant S. pneumoniae strains, H.influenzae, Mcatarrhalis, Chlamydia pneumoniae or Mycomplasma pneumoniae, the FDA said in its approval letter to Aventis.

Infectious Disease News Editorial Board member James J. Rahal, MD, director of the infectious diseases section......said telithromycin will be a better update of erythromycin and its derivatives.
