Abstract

The therapeutic activity of LB20304a was examined on experimental respiratory tract infection (RTI) caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae DT-S in mice. A single oral dose of LB 20304a (1.2mg/mouse) showed a rapid bacteriocidal activity in lung tissue at 4,7 and 24h after administration of drug. The in vivo activity of LB20304a was comparable to that of ciprofloxacin against K. pneumoniae infection, although in vitro MIC of LB20304a was four-fold higher than that of ciprofloxacin.
