Abstract: A string instrument includes a front wall, a back wall opposite the front wall, and a sidewall disposed between the front wall and the back wall. The front wall, the back wall, and the sidewall define a cavity. The string instrument also includes a sound conduction spring positioned within the cavity. The sound conduction spring includes an elastic elongate member, a first end portion at a first end of the elastic elongate member, where the first end portion is coupled to an internal surface of the front wall, and a second end portion at a second end of the elastic elongate member opposite the first end, where the second end portion is coupled to an internal surface of the back wall.

Abstract: The present invention relates in its broadest aspect to combined phage/antibiotic therapy. More particularly, it relates to use of (i) one or more bacteriophages and (ii) one or more antibiotics in the manufacture of a combined product for simultaneous, separate or sequential administration of (i) and (ii) to treat a bacterial infection characterized by biofilm formation, for example an infection comprising or consisting of P. aeruginosa. Treatment in this context may be either therapeutic or prophylactic treatment. Also provided are deposited bacteriophages each exhibiting different strain specificity against P. aeruginosa and combinations of such bacteriophages, e.g. a panel of six deposited bacteriophages which was found to be effective against a high percentage of clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa from canine ear infections.
