Abstract

The recent emergence of resistance to colistin, an antibiotic of last resort with dose-limiting toxicity, has highlighted the need for alternative approaches to combat infection. This study aimed to generate and characterise alginate oligosaccharide (“OligoG”)–polymyxin (polymyxin B and E (colistin)...
