Antibiotic Activity Enhancement FAQ

Are antibiotic activity enhancers effective against multidrug-resistant bacteria?

This review provides insights into various antibiotic activity enhancers, including polymer, lipid, and silver-based systems, designed to reduce the adverse effects of antibiotics and improve formulation stability and efficacy against multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Can antimicrobial activity enhancers improve the efficacy of antibiotics?

Still, some delivery systems and antimicrobial activity enhancers improved the efficacy of antibiotics, as they displayed antimicrobial potency, for example, silver or chitosan. Antioxidants, or mixtures of antimicrobial agents, have been formulated together to further boost the antimicrobial activity of components and prevent drug resistance.

Can activity enhancers improve antibiotic delivery?

However, appropriately designed activity enhancers, including antibiotic delivery systems, can increase the effectiveness of current antibiotics, overcoming antimicrobial resistance and decreasing the chance of contributing to further bacterial resistance.

Can combinations of antibiotics and non-antibiotic activity enhancing compounds address antibiotic-resistant strains?

Combinations of antibiotics and of antibiotics with non-antibiotic activity-enhancing compounds offer a productive strategy to address the widespread emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains. In this Review, Tyers and Wright outline a theoretical and practical framework for the development of effective drug combinations.
