Phage Cocktails with Daptomycin and Ampicillin Eradicates Biofilm-Embedded Multidrug-Resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> with Preserved Phage Susceptibility

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> is a challenging nosocomial pathogen known to colonize medical device surfaces and form biofilms. Bacterio (phages) may constitute an emerging anti-infective option for refractory, biofilm-mediated infections. This study evaluates eig...
