Dalfopristin is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria by blocking protein synthesis. It is a combination drug consisting of dalfopristin and quinupristin, which are active against Gram-positive bacteria but not against Gram-negative bacteria. The mechanism of action of dalfopristin is similar to erythromycin, but it has a broader spectrum of activity against resistant mutants. Dalfopristin has been used as a treatment for MRSA infections and in the prevention of postoperative infections after surgical procedures. Dalfopristin is also used in combination with other antibiotics for the treatment of various bacterial infections.
