Synergistic activity between colistin and the ionic liquids 1-methyl-3-dodecylimidazolium bromide, 1-dodecyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide, or 1-dodecyl-1-methylpiperidinium bromide against Gram-negative bacteria

Objectives: Ionic liquids have shown potential for applications as antimicrobials. Their antimicrobial activity has been shown to be higher against Gram-positive than Gram-negative bacteria, suggesting a protective role for the outer membrane of Gram-negative microorganisms. Colistin is a last-resor...
