摘要: This study was designed to investigate the antimicrobial activity of two synthetic peptides from an aquatic organism, tilapia piscidin 3 (TP3) and 4 (TP4), in vitro a murine sepsis model, as compared with ampicillin, tigecycline, imipenem. Mice were infected (NDM-1)-producing K. pneumonia multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, subsequently treated TP3, TP4, or antibiotics for different periods time (up 168 h). Mouse survival bacterial colony forming units (CFU) various organs measured after each treatment. Toxicity determined based on observation behavior measurement biochemical parameters. TP3 TP4 exhibited strong against A. baumannii vitro. Administration (150 μg/mouse) (50 30 min infection significantly increased mice. more effective than tigecycline at reducing CFU counts several organs. shown be non-toxic, did not affect mouse behavior. are able potentiate anti-Acinetobacter anti-Klebsiella drug activity, reduce load, prevent resistance, indicating their potential use combating multidrug-resistant bacteria.
