Background: Intracellular methicillin-resistant (MRSA) represents a complex infection in clinical practice, characterized by its refractory and recurrent nature, rendering it challenging to treat with conventional antibiotics. Bufei Jiedu Formula (BFJD) is a traditional Chinese medicine compound utilized for treating chronic lung infections; however, its mechanisms against intracellular MRSA infection are not yet fully understood.
Methods: An animal model with persistent MRSA infection was used to evaluate the efficacy of BFJD against chronic bacterial infections.
