Synergistic Antibacterial Effect of ZnO Nanoparticles and Antibiotics against Multidrug-Resistant Biofilm Bacteria

CONCLUSION: The findings of this study encourage the development of alternative therapies with high efficacy and low toxicity. ZnO nanoparticles have demonstrated promising results in overcoming multi-drug resistant bacteria and biofilms, and their combination with colistin has shown a significant reduction in toxicity. Further studies are needed to investigate the potential of ZnO nanoparticles as a viable alternative to conventional antibiotics.PMID:38231065 | DOI:10.2174/0115672018279213240110045557
