Abstract:
The in vitro activity of SK&F 104662, a new glycopeptide antibiotic, against gram-positive bacteria was evaluated. Activity was comparable to those of teicoplanin and vancomycin against most organisms. SK&F 104662 inhibited diphtheroids at concentrations of less than or equal to 0.5 microgram/ml. Addition of human serum to the test medium lowered the inhibitory activity of this glycopeptide against some organisms by as much as eightfold.
