Synergistic effects of antibiotics and fucoidan on dual-species Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii biofilm in diabetic rat wound models

Background Chronic diabetic wounds are often complicated by biofilm-forming, antibiotic-resistant pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii, which delay healing. This study evaluated the synergistic effects of gentamicin and imipenem…
