    摘要: The present invention relates to the treatment and prevention of bacteria and bacterial infections. In particular, the present invention relates to engineered bacteriophages used in combination with antimicrobial agents to potentiate the antimicrobial effect and bacterial killing by the antimicrobial agent. The present invention generally relates to methods and compositions comprising engineered bacteriophages and antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacteria, and more particularly to bacteriophages comprising agents that inhibit antibiotic resistance genes and/or cell survival genes, and/or bacteriophages comprising repressors of SOS response genes or inhibitors of antimicrobial defense genes and/or expressing an agent which increases the sensitivity of bacteria to an antimicrobial agent in combination with at least one antimicrobial agent, and their use thereof.
