abstract = "Colistin is used as a “last resort” drug in the treatmentof carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumanniiinfections. Though not the most convenient option due tothe serious side effects, this antibiotic can be very efficientif administered properly (Garnacho-Montero and Timsit,2019). However, for several years now, we are witnessinga steady emergence of colistin-resistant (ColR) strains, withthe constant threat of a sudden burst worldwide (Nowak etal., 2017). Having in mind that these strains are usuallynon-susceptible to any of the existing treatments, i.e.pandrug-resistant (PDR), the development of newtherapeutic strategies is desperately needed.In the present study, we showed that colistinsusceptibility of ColR A. baumannii strains can be fullyrestored in the presence of very low amounts of seleniumnanoparticles (SeNPs). To demonstrate potent synergisticinteractions between colistin and SeNPs, we performedcheckerboard and time-kill analyses.",
