Abstract

The in vitro activity of teichomycin A2 was compared with that of vancomycin by standardized agar dilution testing against clinical isolates of staphylococci and enterococci. Both antibiotics had similar activities against staphylococci. However, teichomycin A2 was significantly more active against enterococci.
