Prosthetic joint infections are devastating complications of joint arthroplasties. Without effective management, they can lead to limb amputation and even death. A significant proportion of these infections is caused by the primarily commensal Coagulase-negative Staphylococci pathogens, which form thick, antibiotic-resistant biofilms at the site of infection. Combinatorial therapy involving antibiotics and bacteriophages may represent a strategy to overcome resistance. Previous research indicates that as bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics, they often become more susceptible to bacterio ...
