>New research from the University of South Australia shows that ibuprofen and acetaminophen are quietly fueling one of the world's biggest health threats: antibiotic resistance.
In the first study of its kind, researchers found that ibuprofen and acetaminophen are not only driving antibiotic resistance when used individually, but amplifying it when used together. The research is published in the journal npj Antimicrobials and Resistance.
Assessing the interaction of non-antibiotic medications, the broad-spectrum antibiotic ciprofloxacin, and Escherichia coli (E. coli)—a common bacterium that causes gut and urinary tract infections—researchers found that ibuprofen and acetaminophen significantly increased bacterial mutations, making E. coli highly resistant to the antibiotic.
