Small Molecule Suppression of Carbapenem Resistance in NDM-1 Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae

Worthington, R. J., Bunders, C. A., Reed, C. S., & Melander, C. (2012, February 4). ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters.

By: R. Worthington n, C. Bunders n, C. Reed n & C. Melander n

author keywords: NDM-1; Klebsiella pneumoniae; antibiotic adjuvant; resistance suppression; 2-aminoimidazole
topics (OpenAlex): Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria; Tuberculosis Research and Epidemiology; Antibiotics Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy
TL;DR: A 2-aminoimidazole derived small molecule is identified that acts as an antibiotic adjuvant and is able to suppress resistance of a NDM-1 producing strain of K. pneumoniae, able to lower carbapenem minimum inhibitory concentrations by up to 16-fold while exhibiting little bactericidal activity itself.
