In both cell culture and a preliminary animal model, bacteria proved more sensitive to cranberry-antibiotic combos than to antibiotics alone. The combos, which in every case incorporated proanthocyanidin (cPACs) derived from cranberries, appear to suppress two antibiotic resistance mechanisms: selective membrane permeability and multidrug efflux pumps. In other words, when cPACs are present, antibiotics check […]
