Abstract
Antimicrobial compositions which are effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus organisms (MRSAs) contain peptides isolated from horseshoe crabs combined with one or more .beta.-lactam antibiotics and/or chloramphenicol antibiotics. The compositions exhibit synergistic bactericidal effects against MRSAs at low concentrations, and can be used as defensive agents against opportunistic infections.
