Lefamulin

Lefamulin (BC-3781), is a pleuromutilin antibiotic, inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the peptidyl transferase center of the 50S bacterial ribosome. It is effective against a range of gram-positive pathogens involved in community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP), including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant and vancomycin-intermediate strains), and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium.
