A Time-Kill Assay Study on the Synergistic Bactericidal Activity of Pomegranate Rind Extract and Zn (II) against Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA), <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis,</i> <i>Escherichia coli</i>, and <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>

A Time-Kill Assay Study on the Synergistic Bactericidal Activity of Pomegranate Rind Extract and Zn (II) against Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA), <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis,</i> <i>Escherichia coli</i>, and <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>

There is a need for new antimicrobial systems due to increased global resistance to current antimicrobials. Pomegranate rind extract (PRE) and Zn (II) ions both possess a level of antimicrobial activity and work has previously shown that PRE/Zn (II) in combination possesses synergistic activity agai...
