Summary:

      This study is a drug-drug interaction (DDI), pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability
      study in adult healthy participants, including Japanese cohort. This study is designed to
      assess co-administration of probe substrates with gepotidacin in study cohorts 1 to 3 and
      establishing PK and safety in Japanese participants in cohort 4. Food effect will also be
      evaluated in cohort 4.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Participant must be greater than or equal to (>=) 18 to less than or equal to (=<) 50
             years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.

          -  Participants who are healthy as determined by the investigator or medically qualified
             designee based on medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination,
             clinical laboratory tests, vital sign measurements, and 12-lead ECG results. A
             participant with clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters outside the reference
             range for the population being studied may be included only if the investigator feels
             and documents that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and
             will not interfere with the study procedures.

          -  Additional inclusion criteria for Japanese participants (Cohort 4): The participant is
             a non-naturalized Japanese citizen and holds a Japanese passport (current or expired).

        The participant has/had 2 Japanese parents and 4 Japanese grandparents who are/were all
        non-naturalized Japanese citizens, as confirmed by interview.

        The participant has been living outside of Japan for up to 10 years as confirmed by
        interview.

          -  Participants have a body weight >=40 kilograms (kg) and body mass index within the
             range 18.5 to 32.0 kilograms per square meter (kg/m^2) (inclusive).

          -  Male and/or female: Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local
             regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical
             studies.

               1. Female participants: A female participant is eligible to participate if she is
                  not pregnant or breastfeeding, and 1 of the following conditions applies: Is a
                  woman of non-childbearing potential or Is a woman of childbearing potential
                  (WOCBP) and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective, with a failure
                  rate of <1 percent (%), for at least 30 days prior to dosing until completion of
                  the follow-up Visit. The investigator should evaluate the potential for
                  contraceptive method failure (e.g., noncompliance, recently initiated) in
                  relationship to the first dose of study intervention.

        A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by
        local regulations) before the first dose of study intervention and for women not on
        effective contraception at least 14 days prior to baseline visit.

        The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and
        recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early
        undetected pregnancy.

          -  Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the
             requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in the
             protocol.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Clinically significant abnormality in the past medical history or at the screening
