Abstract
This study aimed to test the efficacy of bacteriophage-antibiotic combinations (BACs) in vitro in 24-h time-kill settings and in ex vivo simulated endocardial vegetation (SEV) pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic models for 96 h. BACs prevented the development of bacteriophage resistance, while some bacteriophage resistance emerged in bacteriophage-alone treatments. In addition, BACs resulted in an enhancement of bacterial eradication in SEV models. Our findings support the potential activity of BAC therapy for combating serious methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections.Entities:
