Potential Antimicrobial Synergistic Interactions of Natural Products

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global public health. Addressing this challenge requires innovative approaches, including the exploration of natural compounds and essential oils as potential antimicrobial agents. Moreover, the investigation of the synergistic effects of natural substances, endowed with antimicrobial activity, and antibiotics or non-antibiotic drugs represents a promising avenue for combating AMR. Topics may also include, but are not limited to, the following:

• In vitro and/or in vivo studies of natural compounds;
• The evaluation of natural products as potential anti-biofilm agents;
• The development of new delivery systems for natural products and/or their combination with synthetic compounds.
