Bedaquiline Eliminates Bactericidal Activity of ?-Lactams against Mycobacterium abscessus.


ABSTRACT: The ?-lactams imipenem and cefoxitin are used for the treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus lung infections. Here, we show that these cell wall synthesis inhibitors trigger a lethal bacterial ATP burst by increasing oxidative phosphorylation. Cotreatment of M. abscessus with the antimycobacterial ATP synthase inhibitor bedaquiline suppresses this ATP burst and eliminates the bactericidal activity of ?-lactams. Thus, the addition of bedaquiline to ?-lactam-containing regimes may negatively affect treatment outcome.
