This is related to stuff I've posted on before, from the same authors."Furthermore, we document that the 2-aminoimidazole/ triazole conjugate will also re-sensitize multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria to the effects of conventional antibiotics, including MRSA and multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii."I have no idea what this means concretely, having not read the paper.- ============ ======Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2010 Mar 8. [Epub ahead of print]Synergistic Effects Between Conventional Antibiotics and 2-Aminoimidazole- Derived Antibiofilm Agents. SA, Huigens RW 3rd, Cavanagh J, Melander C.Department of Chemistry, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, 27695; Department of Molecular and Structural Biochemistry, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695.2-Aminoimidazoles are an emerging class of small molecules that possess the ability

to inhibit and disperse biofilms across bacterial order, class and phylum. Herein, we report the synergistic effect between a 2-aminoimidazole/ triazole conjugate and antibiotics toward dispersing pre-established biofilms, cumulating with a three orders of magnitude increase of biofilm dispersion towards Staphylococcus aureus biofilms. Furthermore, we document that the 2-aminoimidazole/ triazole conjugate will also re-sensitize multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria to the effects of conventional antibiotics, including MRSA and multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.PMID: 20211901 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
