  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> HY-133 is a recombinant bacteriophage endolysin with bactericidal activity against <jats:named-content xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" content-type="genus-species" xlink:type="simple">Staphylococcus aureus</jats:named-content> . Here, HY-133 showed <jats:italic>in vitro</jats:italic> activity against major African methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant <jats:named-content xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" content-type="genus-species" xlink:type="simple">S. aureus</jats:named-content> lineages and ceftaroline/ceftobiprole- and borderline oxacillin-resistant isolates. HY-133 was also active against <jats:named-content xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" content-type="genus-species" xlink:type="simple">Staphylococcus schweitzeri</jats:named-content> , a recently described species of the <jats:named-content xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" content-type="genus-species" xlink:type="simple">S. aureus</jats:named-content> complex. The activity of HY-133 on the tested isolates (MIC <jats:sub>50</jats:sub> , 0.25 μg/ml; MIC <jats:sub>90</jats:sub> , 0.5 μg/ml; range, 0.125 to 0.5 μg/ml) was independent of the species and strain background or antibiotic resistance. </jats:p>
