Résumé

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) and non-tubercular mycobacterial (NTM) pathogens such as Mycobacterium abscessus are one of the most critical concerns worldwide due to increased drug-resistance resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, focusing on developing novel therapeutics to minimize the treatment period and reducing the burden of drug-resistant Mtb and NTM infections are an urgent and pressing need. In our previous study, we identified anti-mycobacterial activity of orally bioavailable, non-cytotoxic, polycationic phosphorus dendrimer 2G0 against Mtb. In this study, we report ability of 2G0 to potentiate activity of multiple classes of antibiotics against drug-resistant mycobacterial strains. The observed synergy was confirmed using time-kill kinetics and revealed significantly potent activity of the combinations as compared to individual drugs alone. More importantly, no re-growth was observed in any tested combination. The identified combinations were further confirmed in intra-cellular killing assay as well as murine model of NTM infection, where 2G0 potentiated the activity of all tested antibiotics significantly better than individual drugs. Taken together, this nanoparticle with intrinsic antimycobacterial properties has the potential to represents an alternate drug candidate and/or a novel delivery agent for antibiotics of choice for enhancing the treatment of drug-resistant mycobacterial pathogens.
