Résumé

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are a continuously increasing threat for medicine, causing infections recalcitrant to antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) were identified as alternatives to antibiotics, being naturally occurring short peptides and part of the innate immune system of a vast majority of organisms. However, the clinical application of AMPs is limited by suboptimal pharmacokinetic properties and relatively high toxicity. Combinatorial treatments using AMPs and classical antibiotics may decrease the concentrations of AMPs required for bacterial eradication, thus lowering the side effects of these peptides. Here, we investigate the in vitro efficiency of combinations of the recently described antimicrobial peptide TAT-RasGAP We identified synergistic combinations towards all three bacteria and demonstrated that these combinations had an increased bactericidal effect compared to individual drugs. Moreover, combinations were also effective against clinical isolates of A. baumannii. Finally, combination of TAT-RasGAP Taken together, our results indicate that combinations of TAT-RasGAP
