Spectinamides have garnered interest as experimental tuberculosis therapeutics owing to their safety profile and efficacy as partner agents when used in conjunction with established regimens in mice. The Nix-TB regimen of bedaquiline, pretomanid, and linezolid represents a short, effective regimen recommended for treatment of pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. However, linezolid administration is associated with severe adverse events which limits its use. Here we present preclinical data that spectinamide MBX-4888A can replace linezolid in Nix-TB.
