Abstract
We utilized the rabbit model of aortic valve infective endocarditis to examine the combined efficacy of the lysin LSVT-1701 plus daptomycin. The combination of LSVT-1701 plus daptomycin was highly effective at reducing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) counts in target tissue. When given for four daily doses, both lysin dose regimens in combination with daptomycin sterilized all target tissues. These findings suggest that LSVT-1701 warrants further clinical evaluation as an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of invasive MRSA infections.Entities:
