    Summary
    Although murepavadin is still in preclinical stage of development, 9.1% (n = 21) of strains had a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) >4 mg/L, a level at least 128-fold higher than the modal MIC value of the whole collection (≤0.06 mg/L).

    Summary · context
    In the present study, its in vitro activity was assessed on 230 cystic fibrosis (CF) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from 12 French hospitals, in comparison with 12 other antipseudomonal antibiotics.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, Murepavadin was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Murepavadin.

    Summary
    Allelic replacement experiments with wild-type reference strain PAO1 confirmed that alteration of genes lpxL1, bamA, and/or pmrB can decrease the murepavadin susceptibility from 8- to 32-fold.

    Summary
    Furthermore, we found that specific amino acid substitutions in histidine kinase PmrB (G188D, Q105P, and D45E) reduce the susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to murepavadin, colistin, and tobramycin, three antibiotics used or intended to be used (murepavadin) in aerosols to treat colonized CF patients.
