Evaluation of Sequential Phage-Antibiotic Therapy Reveals Enhanced Biofilm Control with Meropenem and Colistin in Clinical MDR Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain.

Sequential phage-antibiotic treatment was effective against MDR-HvKp biofilms, with pre-phage exposure enhancing antibiotic access through biofilm disruption, and the bacteriostatic nature of tigecycline reduced efficacy by affecting phage replication.

Preliminary in vitro characterization and lytic dynamics of three novel siphovirus-like bacteriophages targeting extensively drug-resistant Vibrio alginolyticus V79

The findings suggest that, while all three phages exhibit high environmental resilience, Phage P25 is the most promising candidate for further genomic safety validation, serving as a vital biological component in therapeutic phage cocktail formulations to manage XDR vibriosis in sustainable aquaculture.

Genomic and functional characterization of novel therapeutic lytic bacteriophages targeting multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae

Suggestion that in vitro evaluation of MMRP1 and MMRP4 are highly recommended to more deeper future experimental studies to combat MDR E. cloacae nosocomial infections supported by genomic foundation and eventually, the possibility to be suitable for phage-engineering applications in clinical settings is highlighted.
