Non-antibiotic measures are needed to reduce the rate of infections due to multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), including by eliminating the commensal reservoir that underlies such strains’ dissemination and leads to recurrent infections. Here, we tested a cocktail of pre-selected bacteriophages and an engineered microcin C7-producing probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle-1917 strain for their ability to reduce gut colonization by an E. coli strain from sequence type 131 (ST131)-H30R, which is the major clonal group of MDROs among extraintestinal clinical E. coli isolates. Although the bacteriophage cocktail was highly effective against ST131-H30R strains both in vitro and in a murine model of subcutaneous sepsis, it was only weakly and transiently effective against gut colonization by the target ST131-H30R strain (0.5 log10 decrease on d + 1: p < 0.001; no significant effect on d + 4 and beyond). The probiotic strain, while also highly active against ST131-H30R in vitro, was ineffective against ST131-H30R gut colonization despite its abundant presence in feces. Nonetheless, despite failing as decolonizing agents when administered separately, when co-administered the bacteriophage cocktail and probiotic strain exhibited striking synergy against ST131-H30R gut colonization. This combinatory effect was most pronounced on d + 1 (3.3 log10 target strain decrease: p < 0.001), and persisted until d + 7 (0.5 log10 decrease; p < 0.02.). Although by d + 10 the ST131-H30R load was fully restored, these findings provide proof of concept for combined bacteriophage-plus-probiotic administration to reduce or, possibly, to prevent gut colonization with MDROs in high-risk individuals.
