“Compared to imipenem alone, EGCg with imipenem demonstrated enhanced bactericidal activity.”
“Each of the 12 IRKP strains experienced a 4- to 64-fold reduction in the MIC of imipenem upon co-incubation with 0.25 × MIC level of EGCg.”
“These studies demonstrate that EGCg can synergize the bacterial activity of imipenem and differentially stimulate the expression of various proteins in IRKP.”
