Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been on the increase during the past decade, due to the steady growth of the elderly and immunocompromised patients, and the emergence of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains. Although, only a limited number of anti-MRSA drugs are available, a number of different combination antimicrobial drug regimens have been used to treat serious MRSA infections. Thus, addition of several new antistaphylococcal drugs into clinical practice should broaden therapeutic options. Because MRSA is one of the most common and problematic bacteria associated with increasing antimicrobial resistance, continuous efforts on discovery of lead compounds as well as development of alternative therapies and faster diagnostics to ensure effective antistaphylococcal therapy are required. This article summarizes the FDA approved drugs to treat MRSA infections, the drugs in clinical trials, and the drug leads for MRSA and related Gram-positive bacterial infections. In addition, the mode of action of antistaphylococcal molecules and resistant mechanisms of some molecules are briefly discussed. The number of pipeline drugs presently undergoing clinical trials is not particularly encouraging. There are limited and rather expensive therapeutic options for the infections by MRSA in the critically ill. This review article provides an update on antistaphylococcal drugs in clinical trials and antibacterial molecules effective against Gram-positive bacteria including MRSA. The structural and biological information of antibacterials summarized here are very useful for designing drug leads to develop into new anti-MRSA drugs.
