in children is limited, but in the case of adults, studies with 10–20 participants per group have reported alterations in the intestinal microbiota composition and decreased microbial diversity in groups exposed to vancomycin,31 clindamycin,32 and ciprofloxacin32,33 as compared with a control group...
For cSSSI, NMA indicated that for clinical cure, linezolid was superior than vancomycin (odds ratio (OR) 1.55, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.19鈥 2.02), while tedizolid (OR 1.39, CI 0.70鈥 2.76) was similar to vancomycin. In terms of safety, there were no significant differences between ...

beta-lactams, including penicillins and cephalosporins; mono-lactams, such as Imipenem; vancomycin, bacitracin antibiotics which interfere with bacterial protein synthesis antibiotics which bind to the 50S ribosomal unit lincosamides/lincosides including clindamycin and lincomycin; chloramphenicol, macrolides ...
aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). It is being developed for the treatment of ABSSSI. It had comparable activity to linezolid in a Phase 2 ABSSSI trial conducted in China. A second Phase 2 study evaluating patients with ABSSSI is being conducted in the U.S. (NCT...
Choices depend upon severity of illness and risk for multidrug resistance. Meropenem + vancomycin or imipenem + vancomycin might be used in critical cases or with concern for a urinary tract obstruction.Latest antibiotics for UTIsThe latest FDA antibiotic approvals for UTIs include:...

Thus, it would be necessary to add an antibiotic with activity against microaerophilic and aerobic gram-positive cocci, such as vancomycin or clindamycin.207 Activity against anaerobes would be needed as well. Although clindamycin provides some antianaerobic activity, as previously mentioned, the anti...
