Abstract:Background
Aeromonas infections pose a significant threat, presenting a potentially life-threatening condition associated with high mortality rates. This study investigates the potential of mitomycin C (MMC), an anticancer drug, as a novel antimicrobial agent against Aeromonas infections.
Methods
The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of MMC and antibiotics against clinical isolates of Aeromonas species were assessed, using broth microdilution. Synergistic effects of MMC with antibiotics were assessed… Show more
