Abstract

Oritavancin exhibited lower MIC 50 values (0.03 and 0.5 mg/L) than comparators against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, n = 50) and vancomycin-intermediate SA strains ( n = 60). At subtherapeutic concentrations, oritavancin demonstrated rapid (within 9 h) and concentration-dependent bactericidal activity against daptomycin nonsusceptible (DNS) MRSA. Further investigations are warranted to determine the therapeutic potential of oritavancin against DNS MRSA.
