Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Using antibiotic and antimicrobial mixtures is a recognized strategy to suppress or delay the development of resistance by exploiting evolutionary tradeoffs.

The analysis

Multiple retrieved sources explicitly discuss the utility of multi-drug therapies and rational combination approaches in suppressing or mitigating antimicrobial resistance through evolutionary constraints, without any papers refuting the premise.
