Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of different extracts of Piper mollicomum Kunth ex Steud. against standard and multidrug resistant strains of bacteria and fungi, as well as to analyze their potential to modulate antimicrobial resistance. The data obtained in this work demonstrated promising antibiotic-enhancing activity by P. mollicomum, encouraging the development of further research to characterize the toxicological and pharmacological properties of the extracts and isolated compounds of this species, which may contribute to the development of new therapeutic agents to combat antibacterial resistance.
