Antibacterial Essential Oils as Adjuvants to Inhibit Antibiotic Resistance in Multidrug‐resistant Bacteria

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Combining bacterially inactivated antibiotics with antibacterial essential oils (EOs) is an alternative combinatorial therapy against antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, as EOs can also modulate resistance. Apart from the rehabilitation of the antibiotic, this combination is probably more difficult to overcome evolutionarily due to the antibacterial mixture
