Article Synopsis
- Ureolytic bacteria can break down urea into ammonia, leading to health issues and infections that are hard to treat, making their inhibition important.
- The study explores how combining tannic acid with urease inhibitors (fluoride and acetohydroxamic acid) can effectively lower the required concentration of AHA for inhibiting ureolytic activity.
- The combination of these compounds significantly delayed pH changes and extended growth lag phases of bacteria, indicating a potential new treatment strategy for infections and urinary problems associated with ureolytic bacteria.
Emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria is evolving at an alarming pace; therefore, we must start turning to alternative approaches. One of these, could be the use of antibiotic adjuvants that enhances the effect of antibiotics towards resistant bacteria. A novel antibiotic adjuvant is cannabidiol (CBD), which we have previously shown can enhance the effect of bacitracin (BAC).
