Efficacy of DP7-C and/or AZT formulations in S. aureus infectious mouse model.

Notes: BALB/c mice were infected with 1×108 CFU/500 μL S. aureus strain 33591 by intraperitoneal injection; antimicrobial drug was administered 1 hour after bacterial challenge. Mice were sacrificed 24 hours later and the number of bacteria in the peritoneal lavage fluid was counted. (A) Different doses of DP7-C formulation (DP7-C dosage of 0.1 or 2.5 mg/kg) were administered by intravenous injection. (B) Efficacy of the treatment of DP7-C formulations in combination with AZT. AZT-LPs (AZT dosage of 1.25 mg/kg), D-LPs (DP7-C dosage of 2.5 mg/kg), and AZT-D-LPs (dosage of 1.25 mg AZT/kg and 2.5 mg DP7-C/kg) were administered by intravenous injection. *P<0.05 and ***P<0.001 vs the untreated group, respectively.

Abbreviations: AZT, azithromycin; AZT-D-LPs, DP7-C-modified AZT-loaded LPs; AZT-LPs, AZT-modified liposomes; CFU, colony-forming unit; D-LPs, DP7-C-modified blank LPs; S. aureus, Staphylococcus aureus.
