The FDA approved delafloxacin, which exhibits activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens, including methicillin-resistant S aureus, in 2017 for the treatment of ABSSSI. It is available in both intravenous and oral formulations. Daptomycin and vancomycin can treat ABSSSI, but neither is effective against gram-negative pathogens. Nafcillin is effective against gram-positive pathogens only and is not indicated for the treatment of ABSSSI.
