Abstract:

Objective To analyze the inhibition effects of antimicrobial peptide human β defensin 3(hBD3) against Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates. Methods Antimicrobial peptide hBD3 was synthesized. The direct inhibition on 20 Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates were detected by minimal inhibitory concentrationMIC) test, antibacterial activity test and the analysis on some important functional genes. The antimicrobial peptide was combined with amoxicillin, ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin for observing the effects on antibiotic 50% MIC(MIC50) and 90% MIC(MIC90). Results The MIC of hBD3 against Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates was(22.3±6.6)μg/mL, the bactericidal activity was observed while hBD3 concentration was as high as 8 μg/mL. The hBD3 could improve the expression of ompC and reduce the expression of yojL.When 5 μg/mL hBD3 was added , the MIC50 and MIC90 against Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates of ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin were dropped down. Conclusions  There is a considerable antibacterial activity of antimicrobial peptide hBD3 against Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates. It could be used to inhibit Klebsiella pneumoniae infection combined with antibiotics.
