ABSTRACT
Iclaprim, a selective bacterial dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, and other antibiotics were tested against Gram-positive isolates from two phase 3 studies of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) (REVIVE-1 and -2). Seven hundred ninety baseline isolates, including Staphylococcus aureus, β-hemolytic streptococci, and Streptococcus anginosus group, underwent antibacterial susceptibility testing. Iclaprim had an MIC90 of 0.12 μg/ml for S. aureus (0.12 μg/ml for methicillin susceptible, 0.25 μg/ml for methicillin resistant), 0.25 μg/ml for β-hemolytic streptococci, and 0.008 μg/ml for S. anginosus group. Iclaprim demonstrated potent activity against these Gram-positive ABSSSI isolates.
