Potent synergy and sustained bactericidal activity of polymyxins combined with Gram-positive only class of antibiotics versus four Gram-negative bacteria.
Background: Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) are becoming increasingly resistant to a wide variety of antibiotics. There are currently limited treatments for GNB, and the combination of antibiotics with complementary mechanisms has been reported to be a feasible strategy for treating GNB infection. The inability to cross the GNB outer membrane (OM) is an important reason that a broad spectrum of Gram-positive only class of antibiotics (GPOAs) is lacking. Polymyxins may help GPOAs to permeate by disrupting OM of GNB.
Objective: To identify what kind of GPOAs can be aided to broaden their anti-GNB spectrum by polymyxins, we systematically investigated the synergy of eight GPOAs in combination with colistin (COL) and polymyxin B (PMB) against GNB in vitro.
Methods: The synergistic effect of COL or PMB and GPOAs combinations against GNB reference strains and clinical isolates were determined by checkerboard tests. The killing kinetics of the combinations were assessed using time-kill assays.
Results: In the checkerboard tests, polymyxins-GPOAs combinations exert synergistic effects characterized by species and strain specificity. The synergistic interactions on P. aeruginosa strains are significantly lower than those on strains of A. baumannii, K. pneumoniae and E. coli. Among all the combinations, COL has shown the best synergistic effect in combination with dalbavancin (DAL) or oritavancin (ORI) versus almost all of the strains tested, with FICIs from 0.16 to 0.50 and 0.13 to < 0.28, respectively. In addition, the time-kill assays demonstrated that COL/DAL and COL/ORI had sustained bactericidal activity.
Conclusions: Our results indicated that polymyxins could help GPOAs to permeate the OM of specific GNB, thus showed synergistic effects and bactericidal effects in the in vitro assays. In vivo combination studies should be further conducted to validate the results of this study.
期刊介绍：
Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials considers good quality, novel and international research of more than regional relevance. Research must include epidemiological and/or clinical information about isolates, and the journal covers the clinical microbiology of bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as antimicrobial treatment of infectious diseases.
Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials is an open access, peer-reviewed journal focusing on information concerning clinical microbiology, infectious diseases and antimicrobials. The management of infectious disease is dependent on correct diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial treatment, and with this in mind, the journal aims to improve the communication between laboratory and clinical science in the field of clinical microbiology and antimicrobial treatment. Furthermore, the journal has no restrictions on space or access; this ensures that the journal can reach the widest possible audience.
