Synergistic antibacterial effect of inhaled aztreonam and tobramycin fixed dose combination to combat multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria

The limited therapeutic option for respiratory infections caused by multi-drug resistant microbial pathogens is a major global health threat. Topical delivery of antibacterial combinations to the lung could dramatically enhance antibacterial activities and provide a means to overcome bacterial resistance development. The aim of the study was to investigate the potential of new inhalable dry powder combinations consisting of a fixed dose of aztreonam (Azt) and tobramycin (Tob) using a spray drying process, against antibiotic resistant Gram-negative respiratory pathogens. The interactions of...
