ABSTRACT
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a challenge for clinicians due to increasing drug resistance and dwindling treatment options. We report on the activity of MEDI3902, an antibody targeting type 3 secretion protein PcrV and Psl exopolysaccharide, in rabbit bloodstream and lung infection models. MEDI3902 prophylaxis or treatment was protective in both acute models and exhibited enhanced activity when combined with a subtherapeutic dose of meropenem. These findings further support MEDI3902 for the prevention or treatment of serious P. aeruginosa infections.
