Combination Therapy with Ciprofloxacin and Pentamidine against Multidrug-Resistant <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>: Assessment of In Vitro and In Vivo Efficacy and the Role of Resistance–Nodulation–Division (RND) Efflux Pumps

Combination Therapy with Ciprofloxacin and Pentamidine against Multidrug-Resistant <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>: Assessment of In Vitro and In Vivo Efficacy and the Role of Resistance–Nodulation–Division (RND) Efflux Pumps

The aim of this work was to (i) evaluate the efficacy of a combination treatment of pentamidine with ciprofloxacin against <i>Galleria mellonella</i> larvae infected with an MDR strain of <i>P. aeruginosa</i> and (ii) determine if pentamidine acts as an efflux-pump inhibitor....
