Analysis table

Researchers University of Surrey, original author : Natasha Meredith
Published in? When (if mentioned) ? Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2019
General topic? Natural antioxidant helping eliminate antiobiotic resistant bacteria
Procedure/what was examined? - Epigallocatechin (EGCG) can restore activity of aztreonam (common antiobiotic) - In vitro test to analyse interaction with bacteria and EGCG and aztreonam in combinaison or individually - Minimal to no toxicity in human skin cells and Galleria mellonella larvae
Conclusions/discovery? - EGCG increase uptake of aztreonam by increasing permeability in bacteria - Combinaison of aztreonam and EGCG significantly more effective at reducing numbers of bacteria
Remaining questions? - Natural products in combinaison with currently antibiotic may be a way of improving effectiveness - Potential mechanism : EGCG’s interference with biochemical pathway linked to antiobiotic susceptibility
