The resistance of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) isolates to most traditional antibiotics results in huge challenges for infection therapy. We investigated the in vitro activities of both l- and d-lycosin-I against MDRAB. These two compounds displayed high antibacterial activities and rapid bactericidal effects against MDRAB. Moreover, the compounds retained their activity even at high salt (Mg(2+) or Ca(2+)) concentrations. These results demonstrate the potential of lycosin-I to be developed as a new antibiotic.
多重耐药鲍曼不动杆菌(MDRAB)分离株对大多数传统抗生素具有耐药性,这给感染治疗带来了巨大挑战。我们研究了l-和d-溶菌素-I对MDRAB的体外活性。这两种化合物对MDRAB显示出高抗菌活性和快速杀菌作用。此外,即使在高盐(Mg(2+)或Ca(2+))浓度下,这些化合物仍保持其活性。这些结果证明了溶菌素-I作为一种新型抗生素被开发的潜力。
