Abstract

The antibiofilm activity of oritavancin in combination with rifampin, gentamicin, or linezolid was evaluated against 10 prosthetic joint infection (PJI)- related methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates by time-kill assays. Oritavancin combined with rifampin demonstrated statistically significant bacterial reductions compared with those of either antimicrobial alone for all 10 isolates (P ≤ 0.001), with synergy being observed for 80% of the isolates. Oritavancin and rifampin combination therapy may be an option for treating MRSA PJI.
