Combinations of antimicrobials in formulations significantly cause greater inhibition of growth than antimicrobials used singly. Although combinations of antimicrobials do not decrease, and may sometimes even increase water activity of various food products, they have been reported to effectively inhibit Listeria monocytogenes. In addition, the antilisterial effect of combination treatments in antilisterial formulations appears to increase when the product is dipped into solutions of organic acid (Barmpalia et al., 2004).

Ampicillin (oral, IV) and amoxicillin (oral)—gram-positive cocci (not staph), Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Listeria monocytogenes (ampicillin). Activity enhanced if used in combination with inhibitors of penicillinase (davulanic acid, sulbactam). Amoxicillin is a backup drug in Lyme disease and is also used in some regimens to eradicate Helicobacter pylori in GI ulcers.

Trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) This important drug combination is currently accepted treatment for complicated urinary tract infections and for respiratory, ear, and sinus infections due to H influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis. In the immunocompromised patient, TMP-SMZ is used for infections due to Aeromonas hydrophila and is the drug of choice for prevention and treatment of pneumocystis pneumonia. TMP-SMZ is a possible backup drug for typhoid fever and shigellosis and has been used in the treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci and Listeria monocytogenes.
