title: Synergistic activities of an efflux pump inhibitor and iron chelators against Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth and biofilm formation.
abstract: The efflux pump inhibitor phenyl-arginine-beta-naphthylamide (PAbetaN) was paired with iron chelators 2,2'-dipyridyl, acetohydroxamic acid, and EDTA to assess synergistic activities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth and biofilm formation. All of the tested iron chelators synergistically inhibited P. aeruginosa growth and biofilm formation with PAbetaN. PAbetaN-EDTA showed the most promising activity against P. aeruginosa growth and biofilm formation.
