Abstract
In order to examine the in vivo activity of BMY-28100, serial quantitative nasal cultures were taken from 52 nasal carriers of Staphylococcus aureus following administration of the antimicrobial. Nasal carriage rates and mean log titers decreased significantly during (days 2–4 and 5–8) and following (days 1–2 and 6–7) treatment. No change in antibiotic sensitivities was noted in follow-up isolates, and the MIC90 remained at 2mcg/ml. BMY-28100 demonstrated good in vivo activity against Staphylococcus aureus.Keywords
