In combating the global epidemic of multidrug-resistant (MDR-KP), combination therapy with the active ingredient of meropenem (MER) is gaining attention as a new therapeutic approach. In this study, the effect of OAY (orthogonal combination drug of active ingredients in YHPG) in combination with MER on MDR-KP was assessed using the microdilution technique. Additionally, the antimicrobial effect of OAY in combination with MER on MDR-KP was analyzed by reactive oxygen species (ROS), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), and RT-qPCR techniques. Furthermore, the expression levels of critical targets within the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway were assessed via HE staining and western blot in an MDR-KP-infected mice model. Our results confirmed that the OAY-MER combinations inhibited MDR-KP biofilm formation. In the meantime, the compromise of membrane integrity led to the generation of ROS, which subsequently resulted in a decrease in the activity of intracellular enzymes, specifically AKP. We also found that the combination of OAY-MER reversed tmexCD1-toprJ-mediated MER resistance in MDR-KP. Finally, by a mouse model of MDR-KP infection, the data demonstrated that OAY and YHPG ameliorated lung injury and bacterial infections in the lungs, and significantly reduced NF-κB P-p65, NLRP3, and C-GSDMD protein expression in mouse lung tissues. The findings suggest that the combination of OAY with meropenem may have great potential for clinical application and could provide a theoretical basis for its use in treating MDR-KP infections.
在对抗全球多重耐药肺炎克雷伯菌(MDR-KP)流行的过程中,以美罗培南(MER)活性成分进行联合治疗作为一种新的治疗方法正受到关注。在本研究中,采用微量稀释技术评估了OAY(YHPG中活性成分的正交组合药物)与MER联合对MDR-KP的作用。此外,通过活性氧(ROS)、碱性磷酸酶(AKP)和逆转录-定量聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)技术分析了OAY与MER联合对MDR-KP的抗菌效果。此外,在MDR-KP感染的小鼠模型中,通过苏木精-伊红(HE)染色和蛋白质印迹法评估了NF-κB/NLRP3通路关键靶点的表达水平。我们的结果证实,OAY-MER联合用药可抑制MDR-KP生物膜形成。同时,膜完整性受损导致ROS生成,进而导致细胞内酶(特别是AKP)活性降低。我们还发现,OAY-MER联合用药可逆转MDR-KP中tmexCD1-toprJ介导的对MER的耐药性。最后,通过MDR-KP感染小鼠模型的数据表明,OAY和YHPG可改善肺部损伤和肺部细菌感染,并显著降低小鼠肺组织中NF-κB P-p65、NLRP3和C-GSDMD蛋白的表达。这些发现表明,OAY与美罗培南联合用药可能具有巨大的临床应用潜力,并可为其用于治疗MDR-KP感染提供理论依据。
