报告内容简介:

Aim: To develop NB-201, a nanoemulsion compound, as a novel microbicidal agent against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, a common threat to public health with limited therapeutic options.  

Materials and methods:  NB-201 was tested in in vitro and in vivo murine and porcine models infected with MRSA.

Results: Topical treatment of MRSA-infected wounds with NB-201 significantly decreased bacterial load and had no toxic effects on healthy skin tissues. NB-201 attenuated neutrophil sequestration in MSRA-infected wounds and inhibited epidermal and deep dermal inflammation. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were reduced in NB-201-treated MRSA-infected wounds.

Conclusion: NB-201 can greatly reduce inflammation characteristic of infected wounds and has antimicrobial activity that effectively kills MRSA regardless of the genetic basis of antibiotic resistance.
