Synergistic effects of new gentamicin-N.sativa emulsion against gentamicin-resistant, biofilm bacteria of osteomyelitis

Biofilm bacteria complicate treatment of osteomyelitis by providing resistant to antibiotics, requiring high doses of 10 to 100 times of standard antibiotic treatment. This high leads several adverse effects and toxicity. To overcome these challenges, Gentamicin and Nigella sativa, a natural produ...
