Synergistic effect between nisin and polymyxin B against pandrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.

Abstract:

:Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen predominantly associated with nosocomial infections. The World Health Organization's data on antibiotic-resistant 'priority pathogens' reports carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii as a pathogen which is in critical need of research and development of new antimicrobials. Emerging resistance against polymyxins, last-resort drugs for carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii, increases the need for new therapeutic approaches such as synergistic combinations. Nisin, an antibacterial peptide produced by the Gram-positive bacteria L. lactis, is a US Food and Drug Administration approved food preservative with bactericidal action predominantly against other Gram-positive bacteria. A 2008 study reported that topical nisin was effective against staphylococcal mastitis in humans. Additionally, nisin has shown activity against Gram-negative bacteria in combination with antimicrobials such as polymyxin B. A recent in vitro study reported that nisin and polymyxin B exhibited synergistic activity against one isolate each of A. baumannii, Acinetobacter lwoffii and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus using time-kill assay and checkerboard technique. We evaluated the synergistic potential of nisin and polymyxin B against 15 unique clinical A. baumannii isolates using time-kill assay. Three of eight (38%) extensively drug-resistant and six of seven (86%) pandrug-resistant A. baumannii isolates showed synergy with one or more combinations of nisin and polymyxin B. The synergy seen with the use of lower concentrations of polymyxin B may help in reducing the dose-dependent side effects. Additional studies involving pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of nisin are required to explore clinical possibilities.
