Dalfopristin

Identification

Summary

Dalfopristin is an antibiotic used with quinupristin to treat severe or life-threatening infections of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF), and skin infections caused by methicillin susceptible staphylococcus aureus or streptococcus pyogenes.

Background

Dalfopristin is a combination of two antibiotics (Dalfopristin and quinupristin) used to treat infections by staphylococci and by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. It is not effective against Enterococcus faecalis infections. Dalfopristin inhibits the early phase of protein synthesis in the bacterial ribosome and quinupristin inhibits the late phase of protein synthesis.
