A Proof-of-Concept Study of the Efficacy of Systemically Administered Polymyxins in Mouse Burn Wound Infection Caused by Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTThe efficacy of subcutaneously administered polymyxins against burn wound infections caused byPseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii, andKlebsiella pneumoniaewas examined in a murine infection model. Subcutaneously administered colistin and polymyxin B (30 mg/kg thrice daily) achieved a ≥2-log10reduction in the bacterial load forP. aeruginosaandA. baumanniiinfections, whereas wound infections byK. pneumoniaewere less responsive (<1-log10reduction). This study highlights the potential therapeutic benefits of parenteral polymyxins for treating burn wound infections.
