To investigate the antibacterial activities of several antibiotics, hyaluronic acid (HA) alone, and HA combined with penicillin (PEN) against Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus).
The susceptibility of 1 standard strain and 9 clinical S.aureus strains isolated from dairy cattle to antimicrobial agents was evaluated using the double-dilution method and the micro-checkerboard method.
The resistance rates of S.aureus to PEN, clindamycin and erythromycin were 90%, 80% and 40%, respectively. No methicillin-resistant strains were detected, and 40% of the strains showed inducible clindamycin resistance. The combination of HA and PEN exhibited either additive effect (FICI 0.5~1.0) or synergistic effect (FICI≤0.5) against all tested S.aureus strains.
The combination of HA and PEN can significantly reduce the effective minimal inhibitory concentration of both agents against S.aureus, which provides a new idea for the clinical treatment of drug-resistant S.aureus infections.
