Quinupristin-dalfopristin is a streptogramin combination active against multiply resistant Enterococcus faecium. Among 45 E. faecium isolated from patients in various French hospitals, only two strains were intermediate (MIC = 2 microgram/ml) and one, E. faecium HM1032, was resistant (MIC = 16 microgram/ml) to quinupristin-dalfopristin, according to British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy and National...
