Thrombin-induced platelet microbicidal protein-1 (tPMP-1) is a small, cationic staphylocidal peptide from rabbit platelets. In the current study, the outcomes of vancomycin treatment and prophylaxis were compared in experimental infective endocarditis (IE) caused by an isogenic Staphylococcus aureus strain pair differing in tPMP-1 susceptibility (tPMP(S)) or resistance (tPMP(R)) in vitro (ISP479C and ISP479R, respectively). Vancomycin therapy (selected for its intrinsically slow bactericidal activity) reduced ISP479C (but not ISP479R) densities in vegetations compared with controls (P
