Abstract
LY146032, an acidic lipopeptide antibiotic which inhibits the biosynthesis of cell wall peptidoglycan, was found to be effective in delaying death in a hamster model of pseudomembranous colitis. A dose of 0.05 mg/day was effective. The equivalent protection with vancomycin required a dose 100-fold higher, i.e., 5 mg/day.Entities:
