Article Synopsis
- The increasing problem of global antimicrobial resistance highlights the urgent need for new therapeutic strategies, as few new antibiotics have been created in recent years.
- Researchers developed a screening platform that identified three flavonoids—7,8-dihydroxyflavone, myricetin, and luteolin—that enhance the effectiveness of the antibiotic colistin.
- These flavonoids disrupt bacterial iron balance by converting ferric to ferrous iron, which improves colistin's binding and effectiveness, showing potential for future antibacterial therapies targeting iron signaling.
