Abstract
ABSTRACT
The activities of iron chelators (deferoxamine, deferiprone, Apo6619, and VK28) were evaluated against type strains of
Acinetobacter baumannii
,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
,
Staphylococcus aureus
,
Klebsiella pneumoniae
, and
Escherichia coli
. Deferiprone, Apo6619, and VK28 each inhibited growth in standard and RPMI tissue culture medium, while deferoxamine had no effect. Additionally, time-kill assays revealed that VK28 had a bacteriostatic effect against
S. aureus
. Therefore, these newly developed iron chelators might provide a nontraditional approach for treatment of bacterial infections.
