Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing public health concern, particularly in biofilm-related infections, where microbial aggregates display high levels of tolerance. Oxidative stress has been hypothesized to accelerate the development of resistance, whereas antioxidants (AOs) may mitigate this process. In this study, we investigated the impact of AOs on the evolution of ciprofloxacin (CIP) resistance in...
