Activity of dalbavancin against staphylococci and streptococci, assessed by BSAC and NCCLS agar dilution methods [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2004
Dalbavancin is a long-half-life (9-12 days) glycopeptide, now in Phase 3 development. Its pharmacokinetics may facilitate home intravenous therapy, early discharge and long prophylaxis.Dalbavancin and comparators were tested in vitro against staphylococci and streptococci to determine (i) activity and (ii) the comparability of agar dilution MICs by the

Evaluation of the accuracy of various phenotypic tests to detect oxacillin resistance in coagulase-negative staphylococci

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
In this study, we determined the accuracy of phenotypic tests (cefoxitin agar dilution, 30µg-cefoxitin and 1µg-oxacillin disks) to detect the oxacillin resistance/mecA gene among coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolates.
