چکیده

Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp. (CoNS) represent a major cause of bloodstream infections, especially in patients with prosthetic devices and intravenous catheters. We evaluated the activity of daptomycin in comparison to vancomycin and teicoplanin against a large collection of 22,024 CoNS isolates causing clinically significant infections from 283 medical centers over 9 years (2002-2010) and tested for susceptibility by broth microdilution methods against daptomycin and numerous comparators. Overall, daptomycin (MIC(50/90), 0.25/0.5 μg/mL) inhibited 99.8% of CoNS at the susceptible breakpoint of ≤1 μg/mL and was 4- to 16-fold more active than vancomycin (MIC(50/90), 1/2 μg/mL; >99.9% susceptible). All species showed ≥99.6% susceptibility to daptomycin, except Staphylococcus auricularis (95.1%), S. capitis (99.0%), S. warneri (98.8%), and S. sciuri. S.sciuri represented only 0.2% of the collection (46 strains) and exhibited decreased susceptibility to daptomycin (MIC(50/90), 1/2 μg/mL; 71.7% susceptible). In contrast, S. sciuri exhibited high susceptibility to vancomycin and teicoplanin (highest MIC at 2 μg/mL for both drugs). In summary, daptomycin exhibited species-specific activity among CoNS, especially versus S. sciuri. No correlation between decreased susceptibility to daptomycin and the glycopeptides tested was observed.

Activity of mersacidin, a novel peptide, compared with that of vancomycin, teicoplanin, and daptomycin.

Mersacidin, a new peptide antibiotic, was four- to eightfold less active (MIC for 90% of isolates, 8 micrograms/ml) than vancomycin, teicoplanin, or daptomycin against Staphylococcus aureus. Coagulase-negative staphylococci were inhibited by 8 micrograms/ml, and the MICs of mersacidin for hemolytic streptococci and Streptococcus pneumoniae were 4 to 8 micrograms/ml. The mersacidin MICs for anae...

Antimicrobial Activity of Ceftaroline Tested against Staphylococci with Reduced Susceptibility

Vancomycin, linezolid, and daptomycin are very active against staphylococci, but isolates with decreased susceptibility to these antimicrobial agents are isolated sporadically. A total of 19,350 Staphylococcus aureus isolates (51% methicillin resistant [MRSA]) and 3,270 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) were collected consecutively from 82 U.S. medical centers from January 2008 to Decembe...
