Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) could be tackled by giving people a combination of antibiotic drugs that are no longer effective on their own, a new study from researchers at the University of California suggests.
The University of California researchers discovered approximately 8000 different combinations of antibiotic drugs, that when combined are effective in fighting bacteria even if those bacteria are able to resist each specific drug individually. The scientists outlined their findings in the journal Systems Biology and Applications.
