Abstract

Abstract: Background: MRSA remains an important cause of community-onset (CA) and nosocomial (NA)- SSSI. Oritavancin (ORI) is a lipoglycopeptide antibiotic with activity against S. aureus, including MRSA and multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. ORI was approved for clinical use by the US FDA to treat ABSSSI with a single 1, 200 mg infusion over 1 (Kimyrsa) or 3 (Orbactiv) hours. This study evaluated the activity of ORI against MRSA isolates causing SSSI from US medical centers. Methods: A total of 3, 792 S. aureus isolates were consecutively collected (1 per patient) from 31 medical centers in 2017-2019 and tested for susceptibility (S) to ORI and comparators using CLSI broth microdilution methods. Among 1, 582 (41.7%) MRSA isolates, 1, 379 (87.2%) were reported as CA-MRSA and 203 (12.8%) as NA-MRSA. CA-MRSA isolates were evaluated by resistance (R) subgroups, including clindamycin (CLI-R; n=283; 20.5%), levofloxacin (LEV-R; n=831; 60.3%), MDR (non-susceptible to ≥3 classes of agents; n=816; 59.2%), and extensively drug resistant (XDR; non-susceptible to ≥5 classes; n=47; 3.4%). Results: Overall, ORI inhibited 99.9% of all S. aureus isolates at the susceptible breakpoint (≤0.12 mg/L; 99.9% of MSSA and 100% of MRSA; Table). S rates were generally comparable between NA-MRSA and CA-MRSA isolates for ORI (100%S) and linezolid (LZD, 100%S) but lower susceptibility was observed for NA-MRSA compared to CA-MRSA for CLI (71.9%S vs. 79.1%S), LEV (31.0%S vs. 39.4%S), and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX; 91.1%S vs. 96.9%S). ORI was active against MRSA (MIC50/90, 0.03/0.03 mg/L), regardless of infection status (NA, MIC50/90, 0.03/0.06 mg/L; CA, MIC50/90, 0.03/0.03 mg/L). ORI and LZD remained active (100%S) against all CA-MRSA subsets: CLI-R, LEV-R, MDR, and XDR. Limited activity of CLI (69.9%S) and LEV (13.1%S) was observed against MRSA and each R subset, whereas TMP-SMX had >90%S for all MSSA, MRSA, and R subsets, except XDR. Conclusion: ORI exhibited potent in vitro activity against MRSA, regardless of the infection onset or R subset, in contrast to many comparators that lack activity against both, CA-MRSA and NA-MRSA. This in vitro activity, combined with the infusion time options provided to clinicians, suggests ORI is a favorable agent for treating SSSI in the US caused by MRSA, including MDR and XDR strains.
