a possible explanation for the failure of vancomycin when used alone may be that its in vitro activity against the infecting strain of s. aureus ( as measured by minimal inhibitory concentrations or minimal bactericidal concentrations ) was substantially less under anaerobic conditions ( that is , at partial pressures of oxygen analogous to those in osteomyelitic bones ) than under aerobic conditions .
