Evaluation of Phage and Antibiotic Combinations for Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Eradication: Insights from the Wax Worm Model

This study evaluates phage and antibiotic combinations for eradicating S. aureus biofilms using the Galleria mellonella model, finding that pre-phage and post-antibiotic treatments show significant survival improvements.

Phage-Antibiotic Combination: An Effective Method for Eradication of Staphylococcus aureus

This study evaluates phage-antibiotic combinations against S. aureus, finding synergistic effects and higher efficacy when antibiotics are administered after phage treatment.

In vitro and in vivo evaluation of the biofilm-degrading Pseudomonas phage Motto, as a candidate for phage therapy

This paper evaluates the Pseudomonas phage Motto for its ability to degrade biofilms and treat P. aeruginosa infections in vitro and in vivo, finding it effective against biofilm-producing isolates and safe in human cell lines.

Phage-antibiotic combinations to control Pseudomonas aeruginosa-Candida two-species biofilms

This study evaluates phage-antibiotic/antifungal combinations against single- and dual-species biofilms of P. aeruginosa and C. albicans, finding some synergistic effects but limited efficacy against dual-species biofilms.

A Lysozyme Murein Hydrolase with Broad-spectrum Antibacterial Activity from Enterobacter Phage myPSH1140

This study characterizes Gp105, a lysozyme murein hydrolase from Enterobacter phage myPSH1140, showing broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram-negative pathogens.

A multiwell-plate Caenorhabditis elegans assay for assessing the therapeutic potential of Bacteriophages against Clinical Pathogens

This paper develops a C. elegans assay to evaluate phage efficacy against clinical pathogens, showing improved survival rates with phage treatment.

Dissemination of carbapenem-resistance and plasmids encoding carbapenemases in Gram-negative bacteria isolated from India

This study examines carbapenem resistance and plasmid-borne carbapenemase genes in Gram-negative bacteria from Tamil Nadu, India, finding high resistance rates and plasmid transfer capabilities.

Identification of blaGIM-1 in Acinetobacter variabilis isolated from the hospital environment in Tamil Nadu, India

The paper identifies the presence of blaGIM-1 in Acinetobacter variabilis from hospital environments in Tamil Nadu, India, and reports it as the first such occurrence in the country.
