Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Augmentin, a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, against Pseudomonas bacteria, both when used alone and in combination with other antibacterial agents. Disk diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests were performed to assess the inhibitory effect of Augmentin on Pseudomonas growth. The results demonstrated that Augmentin was effective in inhibiting Pseudomonas, as indicated by a clear inhibition zone. When combined with ciprofloxacin, an enhanced effect was observed, with a larger inhibition zone and a significant reduction in the MIC. These findings suggest that combining Augmentin with other antibiotics may improve its effectiveness in treating Pseudomonas -related infections.
