In Vitro Activity of Telavancin Against Gram-positive Isolates from Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections: Results from 2 Phase 3 (ATLAS) Clinical Studies

During phase 3 clinical studies of telavancin for treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections, a total of 1530 aerobic Gram-positive isolates were identified at baseline. The majority of these strains were Staphylococcus aureus (n = 1214; 62% methicillin-resistant). All isolates were inhibited by ≤ 1 μg/mL of telavancin.
