The term " passive opportunism" was given by Penner.
It is a phenomenal noted when addition of one antibiotic in bone cement helps elution if another antibiotic.
The reason for the phenomenal is not clear but postulated as one of the antibiotic acts as soluble additive or helps cement solvent so that more quantity of other antibiotic is released.
eg. synergistic effect of gentamicin and tobramycin combined when compared to single agent.
