Promising results have been reported particularly against Gram-positive bacteria (monoderms), 25 with encouraging MIC values and a positive trend even in the disruption of biofilm mass and in the fight against persister cells. 26 On the other hand, AF appears less effective against Gram-negative bacteria (diderms), likely because of its difficulties in penetrating the outer membrane of the double layer. 25 To address the issue of reduced drug efficacy, promising alternatives in the field of metal-based drugs are emerging as viable solutions to further improve the efficacy of antimicrobial treatments.

Although the design of the studies was different, phase III data were interesting thanks to the best tolerability of the drug in the patients, along with a positive trend in terms of response rate and overall survival.
While we were not able to perform statistical testing because of our small sample size, a positive trend was noted with improvement of the ULLs when analyzing first ear and second ear surgeries.
