What's new in antibiotics?

Ravindran A Padmanabhan et al. Dermatol Clin. 2005 Apr.

Abstract

Antibiotics are important agents in dermatologic practice. New drugs have expanded the therapeutic approach to uncomplicated skin infections and complicated infections involving deeper soft tissue or infections that require surgical intervention. This article reviews new antibiotics of dermatologic importance, including daptomycin (cyclic lipopeptide), linezolid (oxazolidinone), quinupristin-dalfopristin (streptogramins), moxifloxacin and gatifloxacin (fluoroquinolones), and dalbavancin and oritavancin, which are presently under investigation.
