"Zyvox and the treatment of MRSA"

Drug company Phizer has developed Zyvox in the fight against hospital derived infections. Zyvox is a member of the first new class of antibiotics to be introduced in the past 35 years. It is also the only oral antibiotic currently approved for the treatment of MRSA.
