      Brilliant question! In the process of making, some are in clinical trial to reverse the tide of drug resistance by blocking the multi-drug effllux mechanisms in bugs! In such a challenging time with drug resistance I give you some light shining to the other side of the dark tunnel! Join hands to fight against drug resistance.

      Lots of people are looking into this, trying to find compounds that boost the activity of an antibiotic or suppress a resistance mechanism at the same time.
