Effects of DQ-113, VCM, and TEIC on survival rates of animals with hematogenous pulmonary infections caused by VISA. The mice were treated with one of the antibiotics after infection with VISA or were left untreated (controls). The survival rate was determined daily for 10 days. At 10 days, 90% of the mice in the DQ-113-treated group and 45 to 55% of mice in the other three groups (VCM- and TEIC-treated mice and untreated mice) were still alive. DQ-113 significantly improved the survival rate (*, P < 0.05). •, DQ-113; ▴, VCM; ▪, TEIC; □, control.
