ABSTRACT Combination therapy has been proposed as an alternative therapeutic approach for the treatment of Chagas disease. In this study, we evaluated the effect of treatment with benznidazole combined with E1224 (ravuconazole prodrug) in an experimental murine model of acute infection. The first set of experiments assessed the range of E1224 doses required to induce parasitological cure using Trypanosoma cruzi strains with different susceptibilities to benznidazole (Y and Colombian). All E1224 doses were effective in suppressing the parasitemia and preventing death; however, parasitological cure was observed only in mice infected with Y strain. Considering these results, we evaluated the effect of combined treatment against Colombian, a multidrug-resistant T. cruzi strain. After exclusion of antagonistic effects using in vitro assays, infected mice were treated with E1224 and benznidazole in monotherapy or in combination at day 4 or 10 postinoculation. All treatments were well tolerated and effective in suppressing parasitemia; however, parasitological and PCR assays indicated no cure among mice treated with monotherapies. Intriguingly, the outcome of combination therapy was dependent on treatment onset. Early treatment using optimal doses of E1224-benznidazole induced a 100% cure rate, but this association could not eliminate a well-established infection. The beneficial effect of combination therapy was evidenced by further reductions of the patent parasitemia period in the group receiving combined therapy compared with monotherapies. Our results demonstrated a positive interaction between E1224 and benznidazole against murine T. cruzi infection using a multidrug-resistant strain and highlighted the importance of a stringent experimental model in the evaluation of new therapies.

ABSTRACTFerroquine (FQ; SSR97193), a ferrocene-containing 4-aminoquinoline derivate, has potentin vitroefficacy against chloroquine (CQ)-resistantPlasmodium falciparumand CQ-sensitiveP. vivax. In the current study,ex vivoFQ activity was tested in multidrug-resistantP. falciparumandP. vivaxfield isolates using a schizont maturation assay. Although FQ showed excellent activity against CQ-sensitive and -resistantP. falciparumandP. vivax(median 50% inhibitory concentrations [IC50s], 9.6 nM and 18.8 nM, respectively), there was significant cross-susceptibility with the quinoline-based drugs chloroquine, amodiaquine, and piperaquine (forP. falciparum,r= 0.546 to 0.700,P< 0.001; forP. vivax,r= 0.677 to 0.821,P< 0.001). The observedex vivocross-susceptibility is likely to reflect similar mechanisms of drug uptake/efflux and modes of drug action of this drug class. However, the potent activity of FQ against resistant isolates of bothP. falciparumandP. vivaxhighlights a promising role for FQ as a lead antimalarial against CQ-resistantPlasmodiumand a useful partner drug for artemisinin-based combination therapy.

ABSTRACTA colistin-glycopeptide combination (CGC) has been shownin vitroto be synergistic against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR GNB), especiallyAcinetobacter baumannii, and to prevent further resistance. However, clinical data are lacking. We carried out a retrospective multicenter study of patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs) who received colistin for GNB infection over a 1-year period, to assess the rates of nephrotoxicity and 30-day mortality after treatment onset among patients treated with and without CGC for ≥48 h. Of the 184 patients treated with colistin, GNB infection was documented for 166. The main causative agents were MDRA. baumannii(59.6%), MDRPseudomonas aeruginosa(18.7%), and carbapenem-resistantKlebsiella pneumoniae(14.5%); in 16.9% of patients, a Gram-positive bacterium (GPB) coinfection was documented. Overall, 68 patients (40.9%) received CGC. Comparison of patients treated with and without CGC showed significant differences for respiratory failure (39.7% versus 58.2%), ventilator-associated pneumonia (54.4% versus 71.4%), MDRA. baumanniiinfection (70.6% versus 52%), and GPB coinfection (41.2% versus 0%); there were no differences for nephrotoxicity (11.8% versus 13.3%) and 30-day mortality (33.8% versus 29.6%). Cox analysis performed on patients who survived for ≥5 days after treatment onset showed that the Charlson index (hazard ratio [HR], 1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01 to 1.44;P= 0.001) and MDRA. baumanniiinfection (HR, 2.51; 95% CI, 1.23 to 5.12;P= 0.01) were independent predictors of 30-day mortality, whereas receiving CGC for ≥5 days was a protective factor (HR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.19 to 0.93;P= 0.03). We found that CGC was not associated with higher nephrotoxicity and was a protective factor for mortality if administered for ≥5 days.

ABSTRACT Thiram and disulfiram were evaluated as antibacterial agents against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Against a 30-member panel comprised of vancomycin-susceptible, vancomycin-intermediate, and vancomycin-resistant S. aureus strains, the MIC90 values of the respective test agents were 4 and 16 μg/ml. Additional analyses revealed that thiram and disulfiram are rapid-acting bacteriostatic agents with narrow, Gram-positive-bacterium spectrum activity. Synergy studies further determined that disulfiram increases the vancomycin susceptibility of three clinical vancomycin-resistant S. aureus strains in vitro, thus establishing a potential use in combination therapy.

ABSTRACT Combination therapy has gained attention as a possible strategy for overcoming the limitations of the present therapeutic arsenal for Chagas disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of allopurinol in association with nitroheterocyclic compounds on infection with the Y strain of Trypanosoma cruzi. The in vitro effect of allopurinol plus benznidazole or nifurtimox on intracellular amastigotes in infected H9c2 cells was assessed in a 72-h assay. The interactions were classified as synergic for both allopurinol-nifurtimox (sums of fractional inhibitory concentrations [∑FICs] = 0.49 ± 0.08) and allopurinol-benznidazole (∑FICs = 0.48 ± 0.09). In the next step, infected Swiss mice were treated with allopurinol at 30, 60, and 90 mg/kg of body weight and with benznidazole at 25, 50, and 75 mg/kg in monotherapy and in combination at the same doses; as a reference treatment, another group of animals received benznidazole at 100 mg/kg. Allopurinol in monotherapy led to a smaller or nil effect in the reduction of parasite load and mortality rate. Treatment with benznidazole at suboptimal doses induced a transient suppression of parasitaemia with subsequent relapse in all animals treated with 25 and 50 mg/kg and in 80% of those that received 75 mg/kg. Administration of the drugs in combination significantly increased the cure rate to 60 to 100% among mice treated with benznidazole at 75 mg/kg plus 30, 60, or 90 mg/kg of allopurinol. These results show a positive interaction between allopurinol and benznidazole, and since both drugs are commercially available, their use in combination may be considered for the assessment in the treatment of Chagas disease patients.

ABSTRACT Statins are inhibitors of cholesterol synthesis, but other biological properties, such as antimicrobial effects, have also been assigned to them, leading to their designation as pleiotropic agents. Our goal was to investigate the activity and selectivity of atorvastatin (AVA) against Trypanosoma cruzi by using in vitro models, aiming for more effective and safer therapeutic options through drug repurposing proposals for monotherapy and therapy in combination with benznidazole (BZ). Phenotypic screening was performed with different strains (Tulahuen [discrete typing unit {DTU} VI] and Y [DTU II]) and forms (intracellular forms, bloodstream trypomastigotes, and tissue-derived trypomastigotes) of the parasite. On assay of the Tulahuen strain, AVA was more active against intracellular amastigotes (selectivity index [SI] = 3). Also, against a parasite of another DTU (Y strain), this statin was more active (2.1-fold) and selective (2.4-fold) against bloodstream trypomastigotes (SI = 51) than against the intracellular forms (SI = 20). A cytomorphological approach using phalloidin-rhodamine permitted us to verify that AVA did not induced cell density reduction and that cardiac cells (CC) maintained their typical cytoarchitecture. Combinatory approaches using fixed-ratio methods showed that AVA and BZ gave synergistic interactions against both trypomastigotes and intracellular forms (mean sums of fractional inhibitory concentration indexes [∑FICIs] of 0.46 ± 0.12 and 0.48 ± 0.03, respectively). Thus, the repurposing strategy for AVA, especially in combination with BZ, which leads to a synergistic effect, is encouraging for future studies to identify novel therapeutic protocols for Chagas disease treatment.

ABSTRACTCarbapenem-resistantAcinetobacter baumanniiis increasing in prevalence. Polymyxin B and tigecycline are among the most active antibiotics used against this pathogenin vitro. Pastin vitrostudies, however, neglected the importance of simulating exposures observed in humans to determine their antibacterial effects. In this study, four carbapenem-resistantA. baumanniiisolates were evaluated using anin vitropharmacodynamic model. Free-drug exposures using 1 mg/kg of body weight of polymyxin B every 12 h (q12h), 100 and 200 mg tigecycline q12h, and the combination of these regimens were simulated. The microbiological responses to these treatments were measured by the change in log10CFU/ml over 24 h and the area under the bacterial killing and regrowth curve (AUBC). Resistance was assessed by a population analysis profile (PAP) conducted after 24 h of treatment. Polymyxin B achieved a reduction on the order of −2.05 ± 0.68 log10CFU/ml against theseA. baumanniiisolates, while all isolates grew to control levels with tigecycline monotherapy. Combination therapy with polymyxin B plus 200 mg tigecycline q12h achieved a greater reduction in bacterial density than did therapy with polymyxin B alone (−3.31 ± 0.71 versus −2.05 ± 0.68 log10CFU/ml,P< 0.001) but not significantly different than combination therapy with 100 mg tigecycline q12h (−2.45 ± 1.00 log10CFU/ml,P= 0.370). Likewise, combination therapy with polymyxin B plus 200 mg tigecycline q12h significantly reduced the AUBC compared to that with polymyxin B alone (62.8 ± 8.9 versus 79.4 ± 10.5 log10CFU/ml,P< 0.05). No changes in the PAP from baseline were observed for either antibiotic alone. In this study, combination therapy with simulated exposures of polymyxin B and tigecycline at an aggressive dose of 200 mg q12h produced synergistic or additive effects on humans against these multidrug-resistantA. baumanniistrains.

ABSTRACT The emergence of the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene mcr-1 has led to serious multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterobacteriaceae infections, which are a great threat to the clinic. This study aims to find an inhibitor of MCR-1 to reestablish the use of polymyxins against MDR Enterobacteriaceae infections. Here, we determined that the natural compound honokiol could enhance the efficacy of polymyxins against MDR Enterobacteriaceae infections by a checkerboard MIC assay, a time-kill assay, a combined disk test, Western blotting, molecular simulation dynamics, and mouse infection models. The MIC results indicated that honokiol can recover the sensitivity of polymyxins against MCR-1-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli (with a fractional inhibitory concentration index ranging from 0.09 ± 0.00 to 0.27 ± 0.06). Based on time-kill curve analysis, all of the tested bacteria were killed within 1 h following the combined therapy with honokiol and polymyxins. Molecular simulation dynamics results suggested that honokiol directly binds to the MCR-1 active region, reducing the biological activity of MCR-1. The combination of honokiol and polymyxins could increase the 40% protection rate and reduce the bacterial load on the thigh muscles of mice. Our study indicates that honokiol is a predominant natural compound whose combination therapy with polymyxins is very promising in future treatment options for MCR-1-positive Enterobacteriaceae infections. IMPORTANCE In the present study, honokiol could effectively inhibit the activity of MCR-1 and showed almost no cytotoxicity to MH-S cells. According to our results, the combination of honokiol and polymyxin had a clear synergistic effect against MCR-1-positive Enterobacteriaceae in vitro. Combination therapy also showed a powerful therapeutic effect in vivo, which can significantly improve mouse livability, reduced the load of bacteria, and reduced pathological change. This combined therapy of small molecule compounds and antibiotics may not continue to induce new bacterial resistance, due to the fact that MCR-1 targeted by honokiol is not indispensable for the bacterial viability; on the other hand, it can reduce the dosage of combined antibiotics, and it is also a promising alternative therapy for the treatment of drug-resistant infections in the future.

ABSTRACTCombination therapy may be required for multidrug-resistant (MDR)Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate bacterial killing and emergence of colistin resistance with colistin and doripenem combinations against MDRP. aeruginosa. Studies were conducted in a one-compartmentin vitropharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model for 96 h at two inocula (∼106and ∼108CFU/ml) against a colistin-heteroresistant reference strain (ATCC 27853) and a colistin-resistant MDR clinical isolate (19147 n/m). Four combinations utilizing clinically achievable concentrations were investigated. Microbiological response was examined by log changes and population analysis profiles. Colistin (constant concentrations of 0.5 or 2 mg/liter) plus doripenem (peaks of 2.5 or 25 mg/liter every 8 h; half-life, 1.5 h) substantially increased bacterial killing against both strains at the low inoculum, while combinations containing colistin at 2 mg/liter increased activity against ATCC 27853 at the high inoculum; only colistin at 0.5 mg/liter plus doripenem at 2.5 mg/liter failed to improve activity against 19147 n/m at the high inoculum. Combinations were additive or synergistic against ATCC 27853 in 16 and 11 of 20 cases (4 combinations across 5 sample points) at the 106- and 108-CFU/ml inocula, respectively; the corresponding values for 19147 n/m were 16 and 9. Combinations containing doripenem at 25 mg/liter resulted in eradication of 19147 n/m at the low inoculum and substantial reductions in regrowth (including to below the limit of detection at ∼50 h) at the high inoculum. Emergence of colistin-resistant subpopulations of ATCC 27853 was substantially reduced and delayed with combination therapy. This investigation provides important information for optimization of colistin-doripenem combinations.

ABSTRACTMultidrug-resistant (MDR)Klebsiella pneumoniaemay require combination therapy. We systematically investigated bacterial killing with colistin and doripenem mono- and combination therapy against MDRK. pneumoniaeand emergence of colistin resistance. A one-compartmentin vitropharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model was employed over a 72-h period with two inocula (∼106and ∼108CFU/ml); a colistin-heteroresistant reference strain (ATCC 13883) and three clinical isolates (colistin-susceptible FADDI-KP032 [doripenem resistant], colistin-heteroresistant FADDI-KP033, and colistin-resistant FADDI-KP035) were included. Four combinations utilizing clinically achievable concentrations were investigated. Microbiological responses were examined by determining log changes and population analysis profiles (for emergence of colistin resistance) over 72 h. Against colistin-susceptible and -heteroresistant isolates, combinations of colistin (constant concentration regimens of 0.5 or 2 mg/liter) plus doripenem (steady-state peak concentration [Cmax] of 2.5 or 25 mg/liter over 8 h; half-life, 1.5 h) generally resulted in substantial improvements in bacterial killing at both inocula. Combinations were additive or synergistic against ATCC 13883, FADDI-KP032, and FADDI-KP033 in 9, 9, and 14 of 16 cases (4 combinations at 6, 24, 48, and 72 h) at the 106-CFU/ml inoculum and 14, 11, and 12 of 16 cases at the 108-CFU/ml inoculum, respectively. Combinations at the highest dosage regimens resulted in undetectable bacterial counts at 72 h in 5 of 8 cases (4 isolates at 2 inocula). Emergence of colistin-resistant subpopulations in colistin-susceptible and -heteroresistant isolates was virtually eliminated with combination therapy. Against the colistin-resistant isolate, colistin at 2 mg/liter plus doripenem (Cmax, 25 mg/liter) at the low inoculum improved bacterial killing. This investigation provides important information for optimization of colistin-doripenem combinations.

ABSTRACTA large-scale genomic inversion encompassing 0.79 Mb of the 1.816-Mb-longStreptococcus pyogenesserotype M49 strain NZ131 chromosome spontaneously occurs in a minor subpopulation of cells, and in this report genetic selection was used to obtain a stable lineage with this chromosomal rearrangement. This inversion, which drastically displaces theorisite relative to the terminus, changes the relative length of the replication arms so that one replichore is approximately 0.41 Mb while the other is about 1.40 Mb in length. Genomic reversion to the original chromosome constellation is not observed in PCR-monitored analyses after 180 generations of growth in rich medium. Compared to the parental strain, the inversion surprisingly demonstrates a nearly identical growth pattern in the first phase of the exponential phase, but differences do occur when resources in the medium become limited. When cultured separately in rich medium during prolonged stationary phase or in an experimental acute infection animal model (Galleria mellonella), the parental strain and the invertant have equivalent survival rates. However, when they are coincubated together, bothin vitroandin vivo, the survival of the invertant declines relative to the level for the parental strain. The accompanying aspect of the study suggests that inversions taking place nearoriCalways happen to secure the linkage oforiCto DNA sequences responsible for chromosome partition. The biological relevance of large-scale inversions is also discussed.IMPORTANCEBased on our previous work, we created to our knowledge the largest asymmetric inversion, covering 43.5% of theS. pyogenesgenome. In spite of a drastic replacement of origin of replication and the unbalanced size of replichores (1.4 Mb versus 0.41 Mb), the invertant, when not challenged with its progenitor, showed impressive vitality for growthin vitroand in pathogenesis assays. The mutant supports the existing idea that slightly deleterious mutations can provide the setting for secondary adaptive changes. Furthermore, comparative analysis of the mutant with previously published data strongly indicates that even large genomic rearrangements survive provided that the integrity of theoriCand the chromosome partition cluster is preserved.
