The efflux inhibitor 1-(1-naphthylmethyl)-piperazine (NMP) has been demonstrated to reverse multidrug resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii. We investigated the interaction of NMP with tigecycline and three other tetracyclines on clinical isolates of A. baumannii. One hundred and four clinical isolates of Acinetobacter were tested for susceptibility to tigecycline, minocycline, doxycycline and tetracycline by disc diffusion, and tigecycline MICs were determined by Etest, both in the presence and absence of NMP. Tigecycline MICs and zones of inhibition were interpreted using the BSAC guidelines. An OXA carbapenemase multiplex PCR was also performed on each isolate. Mean zones of inhibition for tetracycline, doxycycline and minocycline increased by 11.3%, 22.9% and 11.2%, respectively, in the presence of NMP. In contrast, tigecycline susceptibility was decreased in the presence of NMP, with mean zones of inhibition decreasing by 8.4%. Based on PCR results, all but six isolates belonged to the OXA-23 clone 1. Susceptibility to tigecycline of the A. baumannii OXA-23 clone 1 prevalent in the UK is reduced (similar to 2-fold) by the presence of the efflux inhibitor NMP. NMP does not have the same effect on susceptibility to other tetracyclines.
