Synergistic Effects of Phage–Antibiotic Combinations against Citrobacter amalonaticus

isolate was used in this study together with the phage MRM57. Eight different antibiotics with different mechanisms of action were used in combination with the phage to study the impact of the combination treatment on the minimal inhibitory concentrations. We found that antibiotic concentration dependent synergism exists, albeit at different extents, with very low numbers of phages. This demonstrates the use of phages as an adjuvant with a sublethal concentration of antibiotics as an effective therapeutic strategy.
