Antimicrobial susceptibilities of 233 Gram-positive and 180 Gram-negative strains to two novel bis-indoles were evaluated. Both compounds were potent inhibitors of Gram-positive bacteria, with MIC90 values of 0.004 to 0.5 mu g/ml. One bis-indole, MBX 1162, exhibited potent activity against all Gram-negative strains, with MIC90 values of 0.12 to 4 mu g/ml, even against high-level-resistant pathogens, and compared favorably to all comparator antibiotics. The bis-indole compounds show promise for the treatment of multidrug-resistant clinical pathogens.
