In Vitro and In Vivo Efficacy of an LpxC Inhibitor, CHIR-090, Alone or Combined with Colistin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm.

ABSTRACT: With the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance in Gram-negative pathogens, biofilm-associated infections are increasingly harder to treat and combination therapy with colistin has become one of the most efficient therapeutic strategies. Our study aimed to evaluate the potential for the synergy of colistin combined with CHIR-090, a potent LpxC inhibitor, against in vitro and in vivoPseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. Four P. aeruginosa isolates with various colistin susceptibilities were chosen for evaluation. The tested isolates of P. aeruginosa exhibited MIC values ranging from 1 to 64 and 0.0625 to 0.5 ?g/ml for colistin and CHIR-090, respectively. Against 24-h static biofilms, minimum biofilm eradication concentration values ranged from 256 to 512 and 8 to >128 ?g/ml for colistin and CHIR-090, respectively. Interestingly, subinhibitory concentrations of CHIR-090 contributed to the eradication of subpopulations of P. aeruginosa with the highest colistin MIC values. The combination of colistin and CHIR-090 at subinhibitory concentrations demonstrated synergistic activity both in vivo and in vitro and prevented the formation of colistin-tolerant subpopulations in in vitro biofilms. In summary, our study highlights the in vivo and in vitro synergistic activity of the colistin and CHIR-090 combination against both colistin-susceptible and -nonsusceptible P. aeruginosa biofilms. Further studies are warranted to investigate the clinical relevance of the combination of these two antimicrobials and outline the underlying mechanism for their synergistic action.

Project description:Relebactam is a novel class A/C β-lactamase inhibitor that restores imipenem in vitro activity against multidrug-resistant and carbapenem-nonsusceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa Time-kill analyses were performed to evaluate the potential role of imipenem-relebactam in combination with amikacin or colistin against P. aeruginosa Ten clinical P. aeruginosa isolates (9 imipenem nonsusceptible) with imipenem-relebactam MICs ranging from 1/4 to 8/4 μg/ml were included. The isolates had varied susceptibilities to imipenem (1 to 32 μg/ml), amikacin (4 to 128 μg/ml), and colistin (0.5 to 1 μg/ml). Duplicate 24-h time-kill studies were conducted using the average steady-state concentrations (Cssavg) observed after the administration of imipenem-relebactam at 500 mg/250 mg every 6 hours (q6h) alone and in combination with the Cssavg of 25 mg/kg of body weight/day amikacin and 360 mg/day colistin in humans. Imipenem-relebactam alone resulted in 24-h bacterial densities of -2.93 ± 0.38, -1.67 ± 0.29, +0.38 ± 0.96, and +0.15 ± 0.65 log10 CFU/ml at imipenem-relebactam MICs of 1/4, 2/4, 4/4, and 8/4 μg/ml, respectively. No synergy was demonstrated against the single imipenem-susceptible isolate. Against the imipenem-nonsusceptible isolates (n = 9), imipenem-relebactam combined with amikacin resulted in synergy (-2.61 ± 1.50 log10 CFU/ml) against all amikacin-susceptible isolates and in two of three amikacin-intermediate (i.e., MIC, 32 μg/ml) isolates (-2.06 ± 0.19 log10 CFU/ml). Synergy with amikacin was not observed when the amikacin MIC was >32 μg/ml. Imipenem-relebactam combined with colistin demonstrated synergy in eight out of the nine imipenem-resistant isolates (-3.17 ± 1.00 log10 CFU/ml). Against these 10 P. aeruginosa isolates, imipenem-relebactam combined with either amikacin or colistin resulted in synergistic activity against the majority of strains. Further studies evaluating combination therapy with imipenem-relebactam are warranted.
