Figure Lengend Snippet: Time kill analyses of DAP at 0.5x MBIC, AMP at free peak = 72 µg/mL, and DAP + AMP, alone and in combination with four bacteriophages, ATCC 113, NV-497, NV-503-01, NV-503-02, each at an MOI of 0.01 against DAP-resistant R497. Change in CFU/mL was in comparison to initial inoculum. Synergy was defined as a ≥2-log 10 -CFU/mL kill compared to the most effective agent (or double-combination regimen) at 24 h (synergistic regimens indicated by black circle). Bactericidal activity was defined as a ≥3-log 10 -CFU/mL reduction from baseline (bactericidal regimens indicated by the bars at or extending below the dashed black line).
Article Snippet: ATCC 113 Phage (ATCC 19950-B1) and propagating organism E. faecium (ATCC 19950) were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA).
