Abstrakt: Novel therapeutic interventions are required to address the critical antimicrobial resistance caused by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-PA) infections. This study examines the impact of combining delafloxacin with antibiotics on MDR-PA isolated from various samples. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of delafloxacin, alone and in combination with other antibiotics, were determined against forty distinct MDR-PA isolates using the broth microdilution method. Time-kill curve assays were used to determine the bactericidal and synergistic effects of delafloxacin alone and in combination with other antibiotics in vitro against the selected five strains. Our studies showed delafloxacin exhibited four times greater in-vitro activity against MDR-PA strains than levofloxacin compared with both MIC 50 and MIC 90 results. Delafloxacin + tobramycin and delafloxacin + ceftazidime/avibactam showed synergy in two out of five strains tested at concentrations equal to the MIC. The outcomes of this research also suggest that these combinations may replace therapy for MDR-PA strains.
