Evaluation of the intracellular activity of drugs against Mycobacterium abscessus using a THP-1 macrophage model
2018
Abstract We evaluated the antimicrobial effectiveness against M. abscessus in a THP-1 cell line model. No intracellular activity was observed when using amikacin or imipenem. A bacteriostatic effect was observed for cefoxitin, clarithromycin and azithromycin. Tigecycline showed the best antibacterial effect by decreasing the intracellular growth up to bactericidal level.
