International journal of antimicrobial agents, 12 Suppl 2, S67-S71 (1999-10-21)
The emergence of MRSA in the 1960s coincided with the introduction of fusidic acid. Since that time, the antibiotic has been widely used against this organism, both in the 1960s and 1970s and against the more modern multi-resistant version of

International journal of antimicrobial agents, 12 Suppl 2, S17-S22 (1999-10-21)
The in vitro activity of fusidic acid against Staphylococcus aureus is confirmed in clinical studies which demonstrate that this antibiotic in combination with other agents, particularly beta-lactams, is efficacious in non-MRSA septicaemia. Some reports suggest that fusidic acid when used

Fusidic acid binds to elongation factor G (EF-G), preventing its release from the ribosome, thus stalling bacterial protein synthesis. In staphylococci, high-level fusidic acid resistance is usually caused by mutations in the gene encoding EF-G, fusA, and low-level resistance is
