<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Isolated from the Oral Cavity: Phage Susceptibility in Relation to Antibiotic Resistance
Nowadays, research on bacteriophage therapy and its potential use in combination with antibiotics has been gaining momentum. One hundred and ten oral <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> isolates were phage-typed and their antibiotic resistance was determined by standard and molecular methods. T...
