Abstract Title:
Mechanism of Synergy Between Tetracycline and Quercetin Against Antibiotic Resistant.
Abstract:
Treatment of multi-drug resistant (MDR)intestinal infections are being hampered by the presence of the-1 (colistin) and(tetracycline) resistance genes in these strains. We screened seven traditional Chinese medicines for their ability to synergize with tetracycline to provide an effective new drug for the treatment of animal intestinal diseases caused by MDR. Our primary screen identified quercetin as a compound that reduced the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of tetracycline against thestandard test strain American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 25922 and clinical isolates fourfold from 4 and 256μg/mL to 1 and 64 μg/mL, respectively. Low levels of quercetin in combination with tetracycline were bactericidal for clinicalisolates and after 24 h, the differences between this combination and each drug singly were 10CFU/mL. We used this combination therapy in a mouse infection model and found 100% survival after 48 h compared with
