Fig. (E, E)-farnesol and myristic acid-loaded lipid nanoparticles overcome colistin resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii
The emergence of colistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has significantly reduced treatment options for infections caused by this pathogen. Terpenic alcohols and fatty acids have demonstrated their ability to enhance the effectiveness of colistin, but their strong lipophilicity limits their clinical application.
To overcome this limitation, researchers have developed water-dispersible lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) in two sizes (40 nm and 130 nm), loaded with these compounds to act as colistin adjuvants.
