With the problem of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens becoming increasingly dire, new strategies are needed to protect and treat infected patients. Though abandoned in the past, monoclonal antibody therapy against Gram-negative bacteria remains a potential solution and has potential advantages over the broad-spectrum antibiotics they were once replaced by. This Perspective reviews the prospect of utilizing monoclonal antibody therapy against these pathogens, as well as the challenges of doing so and the current therapy targets under investigation.
随着多重耐药革兰氏阴性病原体问题日益严峻,需要新的策略来保护和治疗受感染患者。尽管单克隆抗体疗法过去曾被放弃,但针对革兰氏阴性菌的单克隆抗体疗法仍是一种潜在的解决方案,并且相对于它们曾经所取代的广谱抗生素具有潜在优势。本观点文章综述了利用单克隆抗体疗法对抗这些病原体的前景,以及这样做所面临的挑战和目前正在研究的治疗靶点。
