The invention discloses application of
gentamicin and
ceftazidime in enhancing the
drug sensitivity of
serratia marcescens, and belongs to the field of biological
medicine. The
serratia marcescens is a strain carrying
drug-
resistant genes such as OqxB and mdtC, the
mass ratio of
gentamicin to
ceftazidime is (1: 10)-(1: 50), the synergistic effect of
gentamicin and
ceftazidime is the strongest under the ratio, the sensitivities of
serratia marcescens to gentamicin and ceftazidime can be recovered by 12.5 times and 42 times respectively, MBC is synchronously and greatly reduced, and the serratia marcescens has the dual effects of
drug sensitivity enhancement and infection treatment; the single dosage is reduced, so that the cost is reduced, and the potential damage of the
medicine to a host is reduced while the
treatment effect is ensured. The
prodigiosin is effective to serratia marcescens carrying various drug-
resistant genes such as OqxB, mdtC, AAC (6 ')-Ic, KdpE and CpxA, cost is saved for prevention, control and treatment of serratia marcescens in
animal husbandry, and important reference is provided for safe extraction and utilization of
prodigiosin and
clinical treatment of human serratia marcescens infection.
