by modulating bacterial sugar transport systems. By shifting fosfomycin uptake from GlpT- to UhpT-mediated pathways, cranberry juice both potentiates antibiotic activity and suppresses the emergence of resistant mutants. These findings provide new insight into how dietary components can influence antibiotic response, offering a promising basis for developing natural adjuvants that extend the lifespan of current antimicrobial agents.
