Exebacase: A Novel Approach to the Treatment of Staphylococcal Infections.
Lysins are bacteriophage-derived enzymes that degrade essential components of bacteria. Exebacase (Lysin CF-301) is an attractive antimicrobial agent because it demonstrates rapid bacteriolytic activity against staphylococcal species, including Staphylococcus aureus, has a low resistance profile, eradicates biofilms, and acts synergistically with other antibiotics. Combinations including exebacase and standard of care antibiotics represent an alternative to antibiotic monotherapies currently used to treat invasive staphylococcal infections. This manuscript reviews what is known about exebacase and explores how this novel agent may be used in the future to treat human bacterial pathogens.
期刊介绍：
Drugs in R&D is an international, peer reviewed, open access, online only journal, and provides timely information from all phases of drug research and development that will inform clinical practice. Healthcare decision makers are thus provided with knowledge about the developing place of a drug in therapy.
The Journal includes:
Clinical research on new and established drugs;
Preclinical research of direct relevance to clinical drug development;
Short communications and case study reports that meet the above criteria will also be considered;
Reviews may also be considered.
