Abstract
The in vitro activities of LY333328 were compared with those of vancomycin, teicoplanin, and quinupristin-dalfopristin (Synercid) against 219 strains of enterococci and staphylococci, including vancomycin-resistant enterococci and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. MICs and MBCs were determined by a microtiter dilution protocol. LY333328 demonstrated superior activity against vancomycin-resistant enterococci and was the only antibiotic which was bactericidal. Its potency was comparable or superior to those of other antibiotics tested against methicillin-resistant staphylococci.Entities:
