Background: Retapamulin is a novel semi-synthetic pleuromutilin currently in
Comparator antimicrobial agents included: amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, development as a topical antimicrobial for the treatment of skin and skin bacitracin, ceftriaxone, cephalothin, clindamycin, cloxacillin, structure infections (SSSIs). The mode of action for pleuromutilin is unique and shows no cross-resistance to other classes of antibiotics and is fully active against erythromycin, fusidic acid, gentamicin, linezolid, mupirocin, skin bacterial isolates carrying resistance determinants to established agents including β-lactams, macrolides, quinolones, fusidic acid and mupirocin.
All study organisms were clinical isolates collected and frozen at -70°C Methods: Clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were collected from 9 sites
from March 2004 to March 2005 from 9 sites in the USA. All isolates in the United States during 2004 and 2005. All isolates were sent to the central were obtained from uncomplicated SSSI, primarily from infections laboratory for testing, identification confirmation and confirmation of oxacillin Mupirocin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible (42) resistance. Organisms were frozen at -70°C prior to evaluation. Susceptibility seen in community settings. Isolates were obtained from both adult Mupirocin-resistant and methicillin-resistant (61) testing was performed using broth microdilution panels.

Introduction
Mueller-Hinton broth (Sensititre®, Cleveland, OH, USA) was used for Retapamulin (SB-275833; Figure 1), a novel derivative of the pleuromutilin The trays were incubated at 35°C in ambient air for 16–20 h before class of antimicrobials, is currently in development for the topical treatment of a variety of Gram positive pathogens associated with secondarily infected Quality control testing was performed each day of testing as specified traumatic lesions and dermatoses. The pleuromutilins are potent inhibitors of by the CLSI using the following isolates: S. aureus ATCC 29213 and protein synthesis in bacteria through the interference of peptide bond S. aureus ATCC 25923. In addition, quality control ranges previously formation by binding to the peptidyl transferase center of the 50S ribosomal determined for retapamulin were used as a control.5 subunit.1 Due to the unique pleuromutilin mode of action, retapamulin shows no target specific cross-resistance to other classes of antibacterials.
