Staphylococcus aureus , a pathogenic species of genus Staphylococcus involved in foodborne illness always remain among the top priorities of the world major concerns. In the present study, we have used recombinant SAP8 endolysin from the bacteriophage SAP8 and commercial nisin to inhibit the viability of pathogenic S. aureus KCTC 3881 cells; however, the approach was not identified as cost-effective. A gradual decrease in the viable S. aureus KCTC 3881 cell counts was observed with an increase in the concentrations of recombinant SAP8 endolysin and nisin. However, combined treatment with recombinant SAP8 endolysin and nisin decreased the viable S. aureus KCTC 3881 cell counts in a significant manner. The combination of 0.01 µM of recombinant SAP8 endolysin with 9 IU/mL and 18 IU/mL of nisin demonstrated a promising decrease in the viable cell counts of the strain. Under the scanning electron microscope, the combination treatment with 0.01 µM of recombinant SAP8 endolysin and 18 IU/mL of nisin showed complete cellular destruction of S. aureus KCTC 3881. We propose that a combination of recombinant SAP8 endolysin and nisin could be a strong alternative to antibiotics to control the growth of S. aureus including MRSA.
