Abstract
Antibacterial agents that kill nondividing bacteria may be of utility in treating persistent infections. Oritavancin and dalbavancin are bactericidal lipoglycopeptides that are approved for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections in adults caused by susceptible Gram-positive pathogens. Using time-kill methodology, we demonstrate that oritavancin exerts bactericidal activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates that are maintained in a nondividing state in vitro, whereas dalbavancin and the glycopeptide vancomycin do not.Entities:
