Lytic bacteriophages facilitate antibiotic sensitization of <i>Enterococcus faecium</i>

2020-09-23

Abstract excerpt

Enterococcus faecium , a commensal of the human intestine, has emerged as a hospital-adapted, multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogen. Bacteriophages (phages), natural predators of bacteria, have regained attention as therapeutics to stem the rise of MDR bacteria. Despite their potential to curtail MDR E. faecium infections, the molecular events governing E. faecium-phage interactions remain largely unknown. Such in...
