Abstract
Teicoplanin, a glycopeptide antibiotic chemically related to the vancomycin-ristocetin group of antibiotics, has been shown to be active against gram-positive bacteria. Binding of teicoplanin by actively growing bacteria leads to morphological damage to the cell surface in staphylococci, as largely shown by transmission and scanning microscopy results.Entities:
