    Abstract Phage-antibiotic combinations to treat bacterial infections are gaining increased attention due to the synergistic effects often observed when applying both components together. Most studies however focus on a single pathogen, although in many clinical cases multiple species are present at the site of infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-biofilm activity of phage-antibiotic/antifungal combinations on single- and dual-species biofilms formed by P. aeruginosa and the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. The Pseudomonas phage Motto in combination with ciprofloxacin had significant anti-biofilm activity. We then compared biofilms formed by P. aeruginosa alone with the dual-species biofilms formed by bacteria and C. albicans. Here, we found that the phage together with the antifungal fluconazole was active against 6-h-old dual-species biofilms but showed only negligible activity against 24-h-old biofilms. This study lays the first foundation for potential therapeutic approaches to treat co-infections caused by bacteria and fungi using phage-antibiotic combinations.

    Abstract Abstract Phage therapy is one of the promising alternatives to combat the increasing problem of antibiotic resistance. Lyophilization is used for the preparation of pharmaceutical products to improve their stability in long-term storage. The aim of this study was to improve the stability of lyophilized bacteriophages using different excipients. Three lytic bacteriophages Escherichia phage ECP311, Klebsiella phage KPP235 and Enterobacter phage ELP140 were subjected to lyophilization using six different excipients: glucose, sucrose, gelatin, mannitol, polyethylene glycol and sorbitol. The lyophilized phages were stored at 4 °C and 37 °C and rehydrated using biological saline to test their viability at 5 months interval up to 20 months. The results showed that the use of sucrose, gelatin and their combination was beneficial in maintaining the viability of phages post-lyophilization. When lyophilized phages were stored at 4 °C, their viability was maintained up to 20 months, but at 37 °C there was a reduction in activity after 10 months. This is one of the few studies to report the lyophilization of phage cocktails to have viability for up to 10 months. Our study identified promising lyophilization excipients to effectively lyophilize bacteriophages for pharmaceutical applications and long-term storage.

    Abstract Non-antibiotic alternative treatments to combat the increasing number of infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria are urgently needed. In recent years, bacteriophages have reemerged to potentially replace or complement the role of antibiotics, as bacterial viruses have the ability to inactivate pathogens. This study aimed to evaluate the synergy of phage-antibiotic combinations. A
