Multidrug efflux inhibition in Acinetobacter baumannii: comparison between 1-(1-naphthylmethyl)-piperazine and phenyl-arginine-β-naphthylamide
10 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: 1-(1-Naphthylmethyl)-piperazine (NMP) has been shown to reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) in Escherichia coli overexpressing RND-type efflux pumps but there are no data on its activity in non-fermenters like Acinetobacter. METHODS: Antimicrobial susceptibility in the absence and presence of NMP and, for comparison, phenyl-arginine-beta-naphthylamide (PAbetaN), another putative efflux pump inhibitor...
