Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro combination of farnesol and β-lactams against Burkholderia pseudomallei. A total of 12 β-lactamase-positive strains were tested according to CLSI standards. All strains were inhibited by farnesol, with MICs ranging from 75 to 150 μM. The combination of this compound with β-lactams resulted in statistically significant β-lactam MIC reduction (P ≤ 0.05). This study provides new perspectives for the use of farnesol combined with β-lactam antibiotics against strains of B. pseudomallei.Entities:
