To address these challenges, low-frequency ultrasound (LFU) emerges as a promising approach. In this study, a mouse pneumonia model was established through intratracheal injection of MRSA to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of LFU in combination with antibiotics. Minimal inhibitory concentration was assessed, and the distribution of antibiotics in the lung and plasma was determined using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Various parameters, including the survival rate, histopathology, lung bacterial clearance, and the expressions of cytokines and inflammation-related genes, were evaluated before and after treatment. Compared with the infection group, both the antibiotic-alone groups [vancomycin (VCM), linezolid, and contezolid (CZD)] and the groups in combination with LFU demonstrated an improvement in the survival status of mice. The average colony-forming units of lung tissue in the LFU combination groups were lower compared with the antibiotic-alone groups. While no significant changes in C-reactive protein and procalcitonin in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were observed, histopathological results revealed reduced inflammatory damage in LFU combination groups. The secretion of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha was decreased by the combination treatment, particularly in the VCM + LFU group. Furthermore, the expressions of MRSA virulence factors (\n              <jats:italic>hla<\/jats:italic>\n              and\n              <jats:italic>agrA<\/jats:italic>\n              ) and inflammation-related genes (\n              <jats:italic>Saa3<\/jats:italic>\n              ,\n              <jats:italic>Cxcl9,<\/jats:italic>\n              and\n              <jats:italic>Orm1<\/jats:italic>\n              ) were further reduced by the combinations of LFU and antibiotics. Additionally, LFU treatment facilitated the distribution of VCM and CZD in mouse lung tissue at 30 and 45 min, respectively, after dosage.\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              Treating pneumonia caused by methicillin-resistant\n              <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>\n              (MRSA) with antibiotics alone poses significant challenges. In this\n              <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n              study, we present compelling evidence supporting the efficacy of low-frequency ultrasound (LFU) as a promising approach to overcome these obstacles. Our findings demonstrated that LFU enhanced the effectiveness of vancomycin, linezolid, and contezolid in an MRSA pneumonia model. The combination of LFU with anti-MRSA agents markedly improved the survival rate of mice, accelerated the clearance of pulmonary bacteria, reduced inflammatory injury, inhibited the production of MRSA endotoxin, and enhanced the distribution of antibiotics in lung tissue. The application of LFU in the treatment of pulmonary infections held substantial significance.
