Restoration of sensitivity of a diverse set of drug-resistant Staphylococcus clinical strains by bactericidal protein P128.

CONCLUSION: The ability of P128 to re-sensitize bacteria to SoC drugs suggests that combinations of P128 and SoC antibiotics can potentially be developed to treat infections caused by drug-resistant strains of staphylococci.
