The limited treatment options available for carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC) have made it a formidable pathogen. Previously we have shown the enhanced activity of pharmacodynamically optimized doripenem against KPC. Capitalizing on KPC's increased affinity for ertapenem, we evaluated the efficacy of a combination of ertapenem and doripenem in both an in vitro chemostat and an in vivo murine thigh infection model. Overall, the combination of doripenem plus ertapenem demonstrated enhanced efficacy over either agent alone.
可供治疗产碳青霉烯酶肺炎克雷伯菌(KPC)的方法有限,使其成为一种棘手的病原体。此前我们已经证实,对药效学进行优化的多利培南对 KPC 的活性增强。利用 KPC 对厄他培南的亲和力增加,我们评估了厄他培南和多利培南联合使用在体外恒化器和体内小鼠大腿感染模型中的疗效。总的来说,多利培南联合厄他培南的疗效优于单独使用任一药物。
