[ 1 ] - Comparison of the Effect of Phenylalanine Arginine Beta Naphthylamide (PAβN) and Curcumin on Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Aminoglycosides on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Isolates

Background and Objective: Efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) can block efflux pumps and are helpful in potentiating the activity of aminoglycosides against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The present study compared the effects of phenylalanine-arginine beta naphthylamide (PAβN) and curcumin on aminoglycoside minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) on Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates. Materials and M...
