- 20 July 2009
Telavancin demonstrated potent activity against all vancomycin-susceptible isolates as well as against heterogeneously VISA and VISA resistance phenotypes, and two enterococci developed resistance to daptomycin, and one developing resistance to linezolid.

- 1 September 2002
Ability to select resistant mutants of Haemophilus influenzae were tested by multistep and single-step methodologies and azithromycin had the highest mutation rates, while amoxicillin-clavulanate had the lowest.

- 1 July 2002
The in vitro activity of AZD2563, a new oxazolidinone, was compared with that of linezolid, vancomycin, quinupristin/dalfopristin, amoxicillin, levofloxacin, penicillin, erythromycin, azithromycin…
Antipneumococcal Activity of Ceftobiprole, a Novel Broad-Spectrum Cephalosporin

- Biology, MedicineAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
- 1 May 2005
Prolonged serial passage in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of ceftobiprole failed to yield mutants with high MICs towards this Staphylococcus aureus cephalosporin, and single-passage selection showed very low frequencies of spontaneous mutants with breakthroughMICs towards ceftOBiprole.
Activity of cefditoren against respiratory pathogens.

- Medicine, BiologyJournal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy
- 1 July 2002
Multistep studies of cefditoren, co-amoxiclav and cefprozil did not select for resistant mutants after 50 subcultures, compared with cefuroxime and azithromycin, where resistant mutants were selected in two and nine strains, respectively.
Antipneumococcal Activities of Levofloxacin and Clarithromycin as Determined by Agar Dilution, Microdilution, E-Test, and Disk Diffusion Methodologies
- C. Clark, M. R. Jacobs, P. Appelbaum
- Biology, MedicineJournal of Clinical Microbiology
- 1 December 1998
ABSTRACT The activities of levofloxacin and clarithromycin against 199 penicillin- and macrolide-susceptible and -resistant pneumococci were tested by agar and microdilution methods in air and by…
Multistep Resistance Development Studies of Ceftaroline in Gram-Positive and -Negative Bacteria
- C. Clark, P. Mcghee, P. Appelbaum, K. Kosowska-Shick
- Biology, MedicineAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
- 22 February 2011
The potential for ceftaroline and comparator antibiotics to select for clones of Streptococcus pneumoniae, StrePTococcus pyogenes, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Klebsiella pneumoniaes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis with elevated MICs was evaluated.
