Scientists have found that if antioxidant is added to a combination of antibiotics, which is usually used in the fight against resistant bacteria, the effectiveness of treatment can be significantly increased. Resistant bacteria is a serious threat to global public health, so the survey results are of significant value for medicine.
Tests on microorganisms have shown that the combination of antibiotics and epigallocatechin gallate was significantly more effective at treating infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria than either agent alone. The authors of survey note that more tests are required, while the potential of EGCG is already visible.
