Impact of High-Inoculum Staphylococcus aureus on the Activities of Nafcillin, Vancomycin, Linezolid, and Daptomycin, Alone and in Combination with Gentamicin, in an In Vitro Pharmacodynamic Model

We evaluated the impact of high (9.5 log 10 CFU/g) and moderate (5.5 log 10 CFU/g) inocula of methicillin-susceptible and -resistant S taphylococcus aureus (MSSA and MRSA, respectively) on the activities of nafcillin, linezolid, vancomycin, and daptomycin, alone and in combination with gentamicin…
