Synergy Between Beta-Lactams and Lipo-, Glyco-, and Lipoglycopeptides, Is Independent of the Seesaw Effect in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Synergy Between Beta-Lactams and Lipo-, Glyco-, and Lipoglycopeptides, Is Independent of the Seesaw Effect in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are resistant to beta-lactams, but synergistic activity between beta-lactams and glycopeptides/lipopeptides is common. Many have attributed this synergy to the beta-lactam-glycopeptide seesaw effect; however, this association has not been rigorously tested. The...
