    PMID: 38349162
  
  
          Methicillin-resistant  (MRSA) strains are a major challenge for clinicians due, in part, to their resistance to most β-lactams, the first-line treatment for methicillin-susceptible . A phenotype termed "NaHCO-responsiveness" has been...

    PMID: 38297970
  
  
          Background: Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of life-threatening endovascular infections, including infective endocarditis (IE). These infections, especially when caused by methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA), feature limited therapeutic options and...

    PMID: 34694870
  
  
          Increased usage of daptomycin (DAP) for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections has led to emergence of DAP-resistant (DAP-R) strains, resulting in treatment failures. DAP-fosfomycin (Fosfo) combinations are synergistically active against...

    PMID: 34097491
  
  
          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...

    PMID: 32340988
  
  
          Methicillin-resistant  (MRSA) poses significant therapeutic challenges related to its frequency in clinical infections, innate virulence properties, and propensity for multiantibiotic resistance. MRSA is among the most common causes of endovascular...
