(2016). Wild mushroom extracts potentiate the action of standard antibiotics against multi-resistant bactéria. In XVI Congresso Latino-Americano de Cromatografia (XVICOLACRO), 9º Encontro Nacional de Cromatografia. Lisboahttp://hdl.handle.net/10198/16433The indiscriminate use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents and the genetic ability of bacteria to transmit and acquire resistance resulted in the development of resistant species. In the last few years, several studies have been conducted in different countries to demonstrate the efficacy of natural products, not only studying their direct antimicrobial activity but also their capacity as resistance-modifying agents. The main objective of the present work was to evaluate the capacity of five wild mushroom extracts to potentiate the action of standard antibiotics, through synergisms that allow a decrease in their therapeutic doses and ultimately contribute to the reduction of resistances.engconference object
