Potential of training of anti- Staphylococcus aureus therapeutic phages against Staphylococcus epidermidis multidrug-resistant isolates is restricted by inter- and intra-sequence type specificity

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Phage therapy appears to be a promising approach to tackle multidrug-resistant bacteria, including staphylococci. However, most anti-staphylococcal phages have been characterized in Staphylococcus aureus , while a limited number of studies investigated phage activity against S. epidermidis . We studied the potential of phage training to extend the host range of two types of anti- S . aureus phages...
