Activity of the Diaminopyrimidine AR-709 against recently collected multidrug-resistant isolates of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae from North America.

ABSTRACT

Broth microdilution was used to determine the MICs of AR-709 and comparator antimicrobial agents for 224 invasive multidrug-resistant isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae. AR-709 was highly active, with a MIC 50 of 0.25 microg/ml, a MIC 90 of 0.5 microg/ml, and a range of
