Teicoplanin
Glycopeptide antibiotic complex from Actinoplanes teichomyceticus active against gram-positive bacteria. It consists of five major components each with a different fatty acid moiety.
Glycopeptides
Vancomycin
Microbial Sensitivity Tests
Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections
Staphylococcus aureus
Endocarditis, Bacterial
Staphylococcal Infections
Infections with bacteria of the genus STAPHYLOCOCCUS.
Vancomycin Resistance
Nonsusceptibility of bacteria to the action of VANCOMYCIN, an inhibitor of cell wall synthesis.
Carbon-Oxygen Ligases
Enterococcus faecalis
Staphylococcus
A genus of gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, coccoid bacteria. Its organisms occur singly, in pairs, and in tetrads and characteristically divide in more than one plane to form irregular clusters. Natural populations of Staphylococcus are found on the skin and mucous membranes of warm-blooded animals. Some species are opportunistic pathogens of humans and animals.
Enterococcus
Oxazolidinones
Acetamides
Staphylococcus epidermidis
A species of STAPHYLOCOCCUS that is a spherical, non-motile, gram-positive, chemoorganotrophic, facultative anaerobe. Mainly found on the skin and mucous membrane of warm-blooded animals, it can be primary pathogen or secondary invader.
Enterococcus faecium
A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria whose organisms are normal flora of the intestinal tract. Unlike ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS, this species may produce an alpha-hemolytic reaction on blood agar and is unable to utilize pyruvic acid as an energy source.
Drug Resistance, Microbial
Methicillin Resistance
Micromonosporaceae
Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay
Actinomycetales
Fusidic Acid
Daptomycin
A cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic that inhibits GRAM-POSITIVE BACTERIA.
