Polycations sensitize enteric bacteria to antibiotics.
Polymyxin B nonapeptide, a polymyxin B derivative which lacks the fatty acyl part and the bactericidal activity of polymyxin, was shown to sensitize smooth encapsulated Escherichia coli (O18:K1) and smooth Salmonella typhimurium to hydrophobic antibiotics (novobiocin, fusidic acid, erythromycin, clindamycin, nafcillin, and cloxacillin). The polymyxin B nonapeptide-treated bacteria were as sensi...
متن کاملInteraction of complement and polymyxin with gram-negative bacteria.
The interaction of complement and polymyxin with gram-negative bacteria has been investigated by using three strains of Salmonella typhimurium in an attempt to determine the loci of complement action. It has been shown that the bactericidal activities of complement and polymyxin towards a smooth gram-negative organism are similarly affected by various components of the bactericidal test system....
متن کاملOptimizing Polymyxin Combinations Against Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria
Polymyxin combination therapy is increasingly used clinically. However, systematic investigations of such combinations are a relatively recent phenomenon. The emerging pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) data on CMS/colistin and polymyxin B suggest that caution is required with monotherapy. Given this situation, polymyxin combination therapy has been suggested as a possible way to inc...
متن کاملSynergistic effect of clinically used antibiotics and peptide antibiotics against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
Ribosomally synthesized (natural) peptides demonstrate antimicrobial potency and may represent a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of infections. The aim of the present study was to investigate the interaction between polycationic peptides and clinically used antimicrobial agents in the treatment of clinical isolates of Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic bacteria in vitro, using...
