Examining alternative approaches to antibiotic utilisation: A critical evaluation of phage therapy and antimicrobial peptides combination as potential alternatives by Chibuzo Vincent Alisigwe, Chibuzor Stanley Ikpa, Uchenna Joseph Otuonye

“…For example, one study investigated the combined use of Lys11, an endolysin derived from phage ϕ11, and the AMP R8K against Staphylococcus aureus. The results indicated that pre-treatment with R8K significantly increased the susceptibility of S. aureus to Lys11-mediated lysis, even at low concentrations. …”
