In Vitro and Intracellular Activity of Imipenem Combined with Tedizolid, Rifabutin, and Avibactam against Mycobacterium abscessus.


ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium abscessus infections are difficult to treat because of their resistance to many antibiotics. In vitro, tedizolid combined with imipenem displayed a moderate synergistic effect (fractional inhibitory concentration index, 0.41) but no bactericidal activity. Intracellularly, tedizolid 2??g/ml (half of the MIC), corresponding to the peak serum concentration, increased the efficacy of imipenem at 8 and 32??g/ml. Addition of avibactam and rifabutin, alone or in combination, improved the activity of the imipenem-tedizolid combination.
