Phe-Arg-βNA is a peptide broad-spectrum bacterial efflux pump inhibitor.{53463} It potentiates the activity of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic levofloxacin (Item No. 20382) against P. aeruginosa strains overexpressing the MexAB-OprM, MexCD-OprJ, or MexEF-OprN multidrug resistance efflux pumps (EC50s = 10 µg/ml for all) but is inactive against these strains when used alone (MICs = >512 µg/ml for all). Phe-Arg-βNA also increases the susceptibility of quinolone-resistant E. coli isolates to nalidixic acid (Item No. 19807).{53464}
