Quercetin inhibits carbapenemase and efflux pump activities among carbapenem‐resistant Gram‐negative bacteria

Rapid dissemination of carbapenem‐resistant Gram‐negative bacteria (CRGNB) is a global threat. Quercetin is known for its antimicrobial activity. In this study, carbapenemase and efflux pump inhibitory activities of quercetin were demonstrated against carbapenem‐resistant Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumoniae , Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii . Further, molecular docking was performed to elucidate molecular mechanisms of...
