Psidium guajava (Myrtaceae) re-sensitizes multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa over-expressing MexAB-OprM efflux pumps to commonly prescribed antibiotics

Abstract Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a critical-class priority pathogen showing high resistance to almost all classes of conventional antibiotics. As a result, discovering new drugs capable of combating Pseudomonas infections becomes critical. The current study looked at the antibacterial and antibiotic-resistance reversal properties of the leaf (PGL) and bark (PGB) methanol extracts of Psidium guajava (Myrtaceae), a popular food plant, towards multidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa ...
