Synergistic Antimicrobial Activity of Eugenol in Combination with Fosfomycin to Combat Escherichia coli and Potential Effect on Plasmid-Mediated Fosfomycin Resistance Genes.

This study found that a combination of Eugenol (from Syzygium aromaticum) and Fosfomycin could effectively inhibit multidrug-resistant Uropathogenic Escherichia coli. The genes fosA3 and fosA4, which contribute to Fosfomycin resistance, were present in a small percentage of isolates. These findings suggest a potential new treatment for bacterial infections.
