Combined antimicrobial effect of phage-derived endolysin and depolymerase against biofilm-forming Salmonella Typhimurium

ratios of CHL, CEP, CIP, PMB, and TET were between 0.25 and 0.50 for LysPB32 + DpolP22 in the presence of PMB. These results suggest that the application of phage-encoded enzymes with antibiotics can be a promising approach for controlling biofilm formation on medical and food-processing equipment. This is noteworthy in that the application of LysPB32 + DpolP22 could increase antibiotic susceptibility and decrease cross-resistance to other antibiotics.
