quinupristin

05/01/1997 - "This result emphasizes the importance of the constant presence of dalfopristin at the site of infection to ensure synergism with quinupristin."
10/01/2000 - "Rhône-Poulenc Rorer (RPR) developed Synercid (RP-59500), an injectable synergistic combination of quinupristin and dalfopristin as a treatment for a variety of infections caused by Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria. "
08/08/2003 - "Synercid, a new semisynthetic streptogramin-derived antibiotic containing dalfopristin and quinupristin, is used in treatment of life-threatening infections caused by glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecium and other bacterial pathogens. "
10/18/2001 - "The combination of the streptogramins quinupristin and dalfopristin was approved in the United States in late 1999 for the treatment of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium infections. "
12/01/2014 - "Combinations of group A and B streptogramins (i.e., dalfopristin and quinupristin) are "last-resort" antibiotics for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. "

05/01/1997 - "faecium on the activity of quinupristin-dalfopristin in vitro and in experimental endocarditis may be related to the reduced diffusion of dalfopristin compared with that of quinupristin into cardiac vegetations that we previously reported. "
12/02/2000 - "INJECTABLE SPECTROGRAMIN: Combination regimens using quinupristin/dafopristin with either gentamicin or vancomycin have powerful bactericidal activities (even against quinupristin-resistant strains) against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in a model of experimental endocarditis in the rabbit. "
03/01/1994 - "We evaluated the in vivo activity and the diffusion of radiolabelled RP 57669 (RPI) and RP 54476 (RPII), the two components of the injectable streptogramin RP 59500, alone or in combination, in aortic vegetations from experimental endocarditis in rabbits. "

12/09/1996 - "Four of the 6 bacteremia cases were central-line related and resolved with line removal alone; 1 was treated with a combination product of quinupristin and dalfopristin (Synercid) and 1 had persistent bacteremia in the presence of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. "

05/01/1997 - "Thus, quinupristin/dalforpristin appears to have potential as an alternative to vancomycin in the management of severe staphylococcal and streptococcal infections, including those caused by MRSA and multi-resistant pneumococci."

05/01/2007 - "To compare pharmacodynamic indices and minimal inhibitory concentrations for vancomycin, gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin, linezolid, and combined quinupristin and dalfopristin for historic and current human coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CoNS) endophthalmitis isolates. "
