This study reveals estragole's bactericidal activity against MDR/XDR Gram‐negative pathogens. Synergy with meropenem and tobramycin was observed in > 88% of strains, reducing antibiotic MICs up to 16‐fold. Estragole represents a promising therapeutic adjuvant to enhance antibiotic efficacy and combat antimicrobial resistance.

The effect of imipenem and diffusible signaling factors on the secretion of outer membrane vesicles and associated Ax21 proteins in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia [PDF]
Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are small nanoscale structures that are secreted by bacteria and that can carry nucleic acids, proteins, and small metabolites. They can mediate intracellular communication and play a role in virulence.

Approachable Synthetic Methodologies for Second-Generation β-Lactamase Inhibitors: A Review
Some antibiotics that are frequently employed are β-lactams. In light of the hydrolytic process of β-lactamase, found in Gram-negative bacteria, inhibitors of β-lactamase (BLIs) have been produced.
