Abstract: Gram positive bacteria can cause resistant to the antibiotics which are currently available for treating acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) thereby rendering the antibiotics unsafe to use for treatment. The production of new drugs for the treatment of this infection as well as other infections caused by the resistant gram positive organisms is imperative for public health. MRSA is a resistant pathogen of special importance in the clinical setting as it is difficult to treat and easy to spread both in the healthcare settings as well as in the community. The newest antibiotic, Dalvance, is promising. It is as effective as other drug protocols like the combination of vancomycin and linezolid. So far, no resistance has been produced against the drug with over ten years in clinical trials. This review discusses the drug description, indications and usage, side effects, drug interactions and non-clinical toxicology, clinical pharmacology, mechanism of action, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, microbial efficacy, studies, dosage and administration information, of the new drug Dalvance and its importance in the health care system for the treatment of ABSSSIs.
