HA, hospital-acquired; MR, macrolide resistant; PSSP, penicillin-susceptible S. pneumoniae; PRSP, penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae.

a

MICs were determined in Mueller–Hinton broth (MHB) by standard CLSI microdilution techniques. MHB was supplemented with 3% lysed horse blood for MIC determinations with S. pneumoniae. MICs were determined twice in triplicate; mean values are shown.

b

A value of 20% unbound lefamulin was used for calculations of 24 h fAUC/MIC, corresponding to the value of in vitro plasma protein binding assay at 3 mg/L.
