Objectives: Solithromycin (formerly CEM-101) is a novel fluoroketolide with potent activity against bacterial pathogens that are susceptible or resistant to other MLSB-ketolide agents. The objective of this study was to assess the activity of solithromycin and comparator antimicrobials against a large number and variety of contemporary clinical bacterial pathogens collected in the United States (USA) and Europe during 2009.Method: During 2009, a total of 10,670 non-duplicated clinical isolates were collected from 52 medical centers located in the USA (27 centers; 6228 isolates) and Europe (25 centers; 4442 isolates). Susceptibility testing and interpretation were performed using CLSI reference methods.Results: Among 1363 Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates, 99.9% of the strains displayed solithromycin MIC values at 4 mg/L) activity was greater against methicillin-susceptible isolates (MIC50, 0.06 mg/L and MIC90, 0.06 mg/L) compared to methicillin-resistant isolates (MIC50, 0.06 mg/L and MIC90, >4 mg/L). Solithromycin was very active against all 757 beta-haemolytic streptococci (MIC50,
