Minimal Disruption with C. difficile to Accelerate Market Expansion

The first of a new class of antibiotics known as macrocycles, fidaxomicin kills C. difficile by inhibiting the bacterial enzyme RNA polymerase. While the majority of broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as metronidazole and vancomycin, disturb the normal intestinal flora, fidaxomicin's narrow-spectrum profile may preferentially eradicate C. difficile with little harm to the flora. Fidaxomicin may make it easier for the colon to revert to its normal physiological state and lessen the likelihood that CDI will reoccur.
