The clinical-stage drug BTZ-043 demonstrates significant antimycobacterial activity in tuberculosis (TB) treatment, effectively reducing bacterial load in murine models. Its ability to penetrate and accumulate in necrotic granulomas, a challenging aspect of TB therapy, highlights its potential for improving treatment outcomes and preventing drug resistance.
A recent study published in The Lancet Microbe highlights the potential of a new antibiotic, BTZ-043, in combating tuberculosis (TB), a leading infectious disease worldwide. Developed by a European-African consortium, BTZ-043 has shown antibacterial efficacy and tolerability in clinical trials, offering hope against antibiotic-resistant TB strains.
