Synergistic Killing and Re-Sensitization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Antibiotics by Phage-Antibiotic Combination Treatment

Synergistic Killing and Re-Sensitization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Antibiotics by Phage-Antibiotic Combination Treatment

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections pose a severe well being menace. Bacteriophage-antibiotic mixture remedy is a promising candidate for combating these infections. A 5-phage P. aeruginosa cocktail, PAM2H, was examined together with antibiotics (ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, meropenem) to decide if PAM2H enhances antibiotic exercise. Combination remedy in vitro resulted in a big improve in susceptibility of MDR strains to […]
