Staphylococcus aureus is the most common non-gonococcal aetiology of septic arthritis. The efficacy of iclaprim against S. aureus LS-1, a clinical strain identified from a patient with septic arthritis, was studied in MF1 mice to evaluate the activity of iclaprim, which is in clinical development, in preventing joint infections. Iclaprim (2.5–80 mg kg− 1) administered as a single dose via the tail vein reduced the incidence of S. aureus septic arthritis and mortality in an experimental murine model of septic arthritis.
