Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen that is difficult to treat because of the antibiotic resistance that has developed in recent years. Increasing carbapenem resistance has led to a rise in hospital infections caused by this bacterium. As a result, researchers have begun to search for new molecules. Ceragenins are the general name for membrane-acting cationic steroid antimicrobial molecules that have activity similar to that of antimicrobial peptides. In this study, we investigated the in vitro activities of the cationic steroid antibiotics (CSAs) CSA-13. CSA-131, CSA-138, CSA-142, CSA-192, and colistin on carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonos aeruginosa (CRPA).
