Abstract
The in vitro antibacterial activity of teicoplanin, a new glycopeptide antibiotic, previously named teichomycin A2, has been compared to that of five other chemoantibiotics: netilmicin, clindamycin, rifampicin, enoxacin and vancomycin. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against 588 gram-positive strains, 561 facultative aerobes and 27 anaerobes, recently isolated from clinical specimens, were evaluated. Teicoplanin showed the highest activity against all the tested strains, with a geometrical mean of the MICs (GMM), a MIC50 and MIC90 of 0.123, 0.12 and 0.5 micrograms/ml respectively.
teicoplanin是一种新的糖肽抗生素,以前被命名为teicomycin A2,它的体外抗菌活性与其他五种化学抗生素:奈替米星、克林霉素、利福平、依诺沙星和万古霉素进行了比较。对近期从临床标本中分离的588株革兰氏阳性菌、561株兼性需氧菌和27株厌氧菌进行了最低抑菌浓度(MIC)评价。Teicoplanin对所有菌株的抑菌活性最高,MIC50和MIC90的几何平均值分别为0.123、0.12和0.5 μ g /ml。
