Abstract
In a rabbit model of wound infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus, 2 x 10(9) PFU of staphylococcal phage prevented abscess formation in rabbits when it was injected simultaneously with S. aureus (8 x 10(7) CFU) into the same subcutaneous site. Phage multiplied in the tissues. Phages might be a valuable prophylaxis against staphylococcal infection.Entities:
