Abstract
Protein synthesis inhibitor antibiotics inhibit synthesis of new proteins, including exotoxins and other important virulence determinants in Staphylococcus aureus. A summary of the literature regarding the use of adjunctive protein synthesis inhibitors for toxin suppression in the setting of S. aureus infections is presented.
