Notes: Fidaxomycin is a natural macrocyclic antibiotic that inhibits RNA polymerase with selectivity for Gram-positive bacteria over Gram-negative bacteria (IC50s = 0.4 and 6 μM, respectively).{25092} It has potent antibacterial activity against most Gram-positive bacteria and effectively targets the Gram-positive C. difficile (MIC = 12 ng/ml).{25092} Orally administered fidaxomycin exhibits minimal systemic bioavailability resulting in maximal gastrointestinal tract distribution.{25092} Fidaxomycin is effective in clearing C. difficile infections while sparing Gram-negative bacteria in the gut.{25090,25089}
