Effects of colistin and tigecycline on multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii biofilms: advantages and disadvantages of their combination

Abstract We investigated the antimicrobial effects of colistin (CST) and tigecycline (TGC), either alone or in combination, on biofilm-dispersed and biofilm-embedded multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) strains R1 and R2. The bacterial growth of biofilm-dispersed MDRAB was inhibited b...
