Occasionally, the question of the compatibility of CS with antibiotics comes up. Here is a study that shows that CS increases the bactericidal efficiency of amoxicillin
Synergistic antibacterial effects of β-lactam antibiotic combined with silver nanoparticles http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0957-4484/16/9/082 "When amoxicillin and silver nanoparticles are combined, it results in greater bactericidal efficiency on Escherichia coli cells than when they were applied separately. Dynamic tests on bacterial growth indicated that exponential and stationary phases are greatly decreased and delayed in the synergistic effect of amoxicillin and silver nanoparticles. In addition, the effect induced by a preincubation with silver nanoparticles is examined. The results show that solutions with more silver nanoparticles have better antimicrobial effects." - Steve N
