Phages versus Antibiotics To Treat Infected Diabetic Wounds in a Mouse Model: a Microbiological and Microbiotic Evaluation

ABSTRACT Diabetes is marked by a range of complications, including chronic infections that can lead to limb amputation. The treatment of infected wounds is disrupted by arteriopathies that reduce tissue perfusion as well as by the critical development of bacterial resistance. We evaluated the impact...

The treatment of infected wounds is disrupted by arteriopathies that reduce tissue perfusion as well as by the critical development of bacterial resistance. We evaluated the impact of a local application of bacteriophages compared to that of a per os administration of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid in a mouse model of Staphylococcus aureus wound infection. We found that phage treatment resulted in improved clinical healing and a reduction in local bacterial load at 7 and 14 days postinfection. Unlike antibiotics, phage therapy did not deplete the intestinal microbiota of treated animals. Amoxicillin resulted in a reduction of alpha and beta diversities of the murine microbiota and disturbed architecture even 7 days after the end of treatment, whereas phage treatment did not impinge on the microbiota. IMPORTANCE The management of diabetic foot infections is frequently a dead end for surgeons and infectious disease specialists. When the pathogen to be treated is not resistant to conventional antibiotics, the latter tend to unbalance the intestinal microbiota, which is linked to multiple pathologies. A local treatment with bacteriophages, in addition to being as much or even more effective than antibiotics from a clinical and microbiological point of view, makes it possible to respect the patient’s microbiota.
