antibacterial synergy of curcumin with aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, and quinolones
of improved susceptibility was highest with amikacin (18 isolates), followed by gentamicin (16 isolates), cefepime, ceftriaxone, and imipenem
Meropenem and ampicillin AST were least affected
presence of curcumin rendered 4, 2, and 8 S. aureus strains sensitive to penicillin, erythromycin, and ciprofloxacin
change was noted in Gram-negative organisms
curcumin associated membrane damage may facilitate antibiotic influx
