Dalbavancin is a parenterally administered semisynthetic lipoglycopeptide developed to combat infections caused by resistant gram-positive pathogens. Dalbavancin exhibits potent in vitro bactericidal activity against gram-positive pathogens including S. aureus (MRSA ), VISA, and non-VanA strains of VRE. Dalbavancin is developed for the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSIs), predominantly those caused by MRSA and β-hemolytic streptococci , organisms against which it has shown greater potency than existing glycopeptide therapeutic agents.
