Abstract
Aim:To test the synergistic effect of Cpl-711 endolysin and antibiotics for antipneumococcal activity.Materials & methods:A combination of Cpl-711 and different antibiotics (amoxicillin, cefotaxime, levofloxacin and vancomycin) was tested in a checkerboard assay against several multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae strains. Mouse and zebrafish models of pneumococcal sepsis were used to confirm the in vitro data.Results:The activity of Cpl-711 combined with amoxicillin or cefotaxime was synergistic in the bactericidal effect against a serotype 23F multiresistant clinical isolate of S. pneumoniae. Synergy between Cpl-711 and cefotaxime was validated using both mouse and zebrafish models.Conclusion:Combination of Cpl-711 and cefotaxime may help in the treatment of diseases caused by multiresistant pneumococcal strains.
