  • the present invention is based in part on the identification of two bacterial species that are believed to act as pathogens in acute otitis externa infections, Microbacterium otitidis and Microbacterium alconae. These bacteria belong to the class known as "coryneforms" or “diphtheroids". Bacteria belonging to this class have been previously identified as being present both in healthy ears and in ears afflicted with acute otitis externa infections. However, prior to the present invention, there had been no species-level identification of the coryneform bacteria present either in healthy ears or infected ears, nor had there been any attempt to eradicate the pathogenic species present in acute otitis externa infections with antibiotic therapy keyed to those species.
  • the present inventors have now identified two species of coryneform bacteria as being present in acute otitis externa infections, and have determined that the compounds of formula (I), particularly Moxifloxacin, are very effective in eradicating these species.
  • Microbacterium otitidis and Microbacterium alconae have also been discovered to be pathogens in infections of ophthalmic tissues, such as conjunctivitis and blepharitis.
  • the compositions of the present invention are therefore particularly useful in treating ophthalmic infections involving one or both of these species.
  • the bacterial species referred to above were identified as a result of research conducted on specimens obtained from 2,122 ears afflicted with acute otitis externa infections and 82 healthy ears. Coryneform bacteria of some type were isolated from 10 to 30% of these ears overall; the incidence of finding this class of bacteria present varied depending on the season when the specimen was taken. Although coryneform bacteria have been identified previously in both healthy and infected ears, the present inventors have discovered that the coryneform bacteria present in healthy ears and in acute otitis externa ears are different. In the acute otitis externa ears, 80% of the coryneform bacteria identified belong to the genus Microbacterium, while in the healthy ears, 90% of the coryneform bacteria identified belong to the genus Turicella.
  • coryneform bacteria found in acute otitis externa patients include two species that have not previously been identified. These species are now identified as Microbacterium sp. nov. otitidis and Microbacterium sp. nov. alconae. These names for the species have been assigned by the inventors, but have not yet been officially published. The names utilized for these species below are ''Microbacterium otitidis” (sometimes abbreviated as "M otitidis”) and " Microbacterium alconae” (sometimes abbreviated as "M alconae”), respectively.
  • M. otitidis and M. alconae isolates were identified as being present, these species were the only type of bacteria recovered. Moreover, these species were not recovered from healthy ears.
  • M. otitidis and M. alconae are pathogens in acute otitis externa. That is, these species were either largely or totally responsible for the acute otitis externa infections in the ears from which they were isolated.
  • the above-cited findings are believed to represent the first frequent association of the genus Microbacterium with a human infectious disease, namely, acute otitis externa.
  • the two new Microbacterium species that have been discovered to be pathogens in acute otitis externa are described in greater detail below.
