In vitro activity of antibiotic monotherapy and combination therapy with bacteriophages against Staphylococcus aureus LVAD-driveline infections

Current treatment strategies for S. aureus LVAD-driveline infections are based on in vitro antibiotic susceptibility of planktonic bacteria. However, LVAD infections are most often biofilm-related, which decreases antibiotic susceptibility significantly, resulting in discrepancies between in vitro a...

Popis
Shrnutí:Current treatment strategies for S. aureus LVAD-driveline infections are based on in vitro antibiotic susceptibility of planktonic bacteria. However, LVAD infections are most often biofilm-related, which decreases antibiotic susceptibility significantly, resulting in discrepancies between in vitro antibiotic susceptibility and in vivo treatment success. Here, we have developed a novel in vitro assay to determine antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus biofilm, grown in conditions relevant to LVAD-driveline infections. Next to antibiotic susceptibility, the susceptibility of this biofilm to bacteriophage mono- and combination treatment with antibiotics was evaluated as an alternative treatment strategy. In the future, this assay can be used to provide a better insight in in vivo antibiotic- and bacteriophage susceptibility of LVAD-driveline biofilms. Thereby improving in vivo treatment strategies for LVAD-driveline infections.
