The antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects of gentamicin, imipenem, and fucoidan combinations against dual-species biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from diabetic foot ulcers
In our investigation, we found that combining gentamicin, imipenem, and fucoidan had a synergistic effect on dual-species biofilms of S. aureus and A. baumannii, suggesting potential benefits for treating such infections effectively. This underscores the importance of understanding microbial interactions, antibiotic susceptibility, and biofilm formation in DFUs.
