Abstract
Currently, the search for new therapy options for infectious diseases caused by multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a priority. Combining antibiotics with virulent (lytic) bacteriophages may be considered a viable alternative to conventional antibiotic therapy. The study was aimed to assess the combined effects of the lytic bacteriophage vB_SauM-515A1 of Herelleviridae family and antibiotics of various classes on the Staphylococcus aureus clinical strains. Strains (n = 4) belong to the clinically significant sequence types ST1, ST8, ST121 and are characterized by multidrug resistance. Efficiency of the combination use of two antibacterial agents was assessed by comparison of optical densities of the test samples and controls after 24 hrs. of incubation. Mutually enhancing activities of bacteriophage used in combination with oxacillin, tetracycline and linezolid were revealed, in contrast to the separate use of each agent. Efficiency generally increased with the selected optimum multiplicity of infection values. No antagonism was revealed when combining the phage with antibiotics. Thus, virulent bacteriophage vB_SauM515A1 can be considered as a possible auxiliary therapeutic agent for antimicrobial-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus.

Bulletin of Russian State Medical University (Bulletin of RSMU, ISSN Print 2500–1094, ISSN Online 2542–1204) is a peer-reviewed medical journal of Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University (Moscow, Russia). The original language of the journal is Russian (Vestnik Rossiyskogo Gosudarstvennogo Meditsinskogo Universiteta, Vestnik RGMU, ISSN Print 2070–7320, ISSN Online 2070–7339). Founded in 1994, it is issued once every two months publishing articles on clinical medicine and medical and biological sciences, first of all oncology, neurobiology, allergy and immunology, medical genetics, medical microbiology and infectious diseases. Every issue is thematic. Deadlines for manuscript submission are announced in advance. The number of publications on topics in spite of the issue topic is limited. The journal accepts only original articles submitted by their authors, including articles that present methods and techniques, clinical cases and opinions. Authors must guarantee that their work has not been previously published elsewhere in whole or in part and in other languages and is not under consideration by another scientific journal. The journal publishes only one review per issue; the review is ordered by the editors.
