Prevalence of macrolide-lincosamide resistance and multidrug resistance phenotypes in streptococcal isolates causing infections in European hospitals: Evaluation of the in vitro activity of oritavancin and comparator agents.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of resistance to erythromycin alone (M) and to erythromycin and clindamycin (cMLSB) as well as multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotypes (resistance to at least three classes of drugs) among clinical enterococci from European countries and adjacent geographic regions. The in vitro activity of oritavancin against these isolates was also evaluated. A total of 2569...
