TY - T1 - The polymyxin derivative NAB739 is synergistic with several antibiotics against polymyxin-resistant strains of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/313768 T3 - A1 - Tyrrell, Jonathan M.; Aboklaish, Ali F.; Walsh, Timothy R.; Vaara, Timo; Vaara, Martti A2 - PB - Y1 - 2019 LA - eng AB - The antibiotic crisis has reinstated polymyxins, once abandoned because of their toxicity. Now, preclinical studies have revealed better tolerated and more effective derivatives of polymyxins such as NAB739. Simultaneously, polymyxin-resistant (PMR) strains such as the mcr-1 strains have received lots of justified publicity, even though they are still very rare. Here we show that NAB739 sensitizes the PMR strains to rifampin, a classic "anti-Gram-positive" antibiotic excluded by the intact outer...
