  • Title: Comparative inhibition of methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus by lysostaphin and other antibiotics.
    Author: Zygmunt WA, Harrison EF, Browder HP, Tavormina PA.
    Journal: Appl Microbiol; 1968 Aug; 16(8):1174-8. PubMed ID: 5187926.
    Abstract:
    Sixteen methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus obtained from Europe were found to be sensitive to the lytic activity of lysotaphin. With only minor exceptions, the strains were found to be sensitive to novobiocin, erythromycin, fusidic acid, and lincomycin, and slightly less sensitive to vancomycin and chloramphenicol. All strains were resistant to tetracycline, penicillinase-sensitive penicillins (benzylpenicillin, ampicillin, and propicillin), penicillinase-resistant penicillins (methicillin, nafcillin, ancillin, oxacillin, cloxacillin, and dicloxacillin), and two cephalosporin antibiotics (cephalothin and cephaloridine).
