Abstract

Recombinant analogs of a number of natural host-defense mammalian cathelicidins were obtained and predominant mechanism of their antibacterial action was studied. The ability of cathelicidins to suppress the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing metallo-β-lactamases (MβL) was studied, and the possibility of appearance of cathelicidin-resistant bacteria was evaluated. Among peptides with different structures and mechanisms of action, only the strains resistant to ChMAP-28 were not obtained, which indicated minimum risk of the development of natural resistance to this cathelicidin. High antibacterial activity, wide spectrum of action, and the absence of cross-resistance effects allow considering ChMAP-28 peptide as a candidate to be developed further as a therapeutic agent against MβL-producing bacteria.
