| dc.description.abstract | The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is considered one of the most important health
challenges of the 21st century. Every opportunity that contributes to preserving the
effectiveness of antimicrobials is of particular interest. E. coli is a pathogenic bacterium of
major importance from both human and animal health perspective and is also susceptible to the
development of resistance. In veterinary medicine, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, including
enrofloxacin, are frequently used to treat diseases caused by E. coli. Recent experiments have
highlighted the important role of oxidative stress in the development of antibiotic resistance in
bacteria and the use of antioxidant compounds in this field may be considered. In our research,
we investigated the potential of some antioxidant compounds to combat AMR. | en_US |
