Not that we are aware of, given it’s chemotherapeutic properties, and that it’s edible its plausible that cuttlefish ink has little to no negative effects on human cells
How do you tell the difference between an antibiotic substance that actually kills the bacteria, versus inhibiting growth of the bacteria in this experiment, as mentioned in your introduction?
Do you think pairing cuttlefish ink with an existing antibiotic would increase its effectiveness?
I think that is indeterminate until further experiments are executed
What properties of ampicillin make it more effective than cuttlefish ink?
ampicillin exhibits molecular and chemical traits that cuttlefish ink doesn’t have such as containing bacteria cell wall synthesis
Does cuttlefish ink have any negative consequences on human cells?

Running bacteriostatic/cidal tests will be able to differentiate them
