N2 - A newly developed glycopeptide antibiotic, teicoplanin (TEIC), was evaluated in vitro and in vivo in comparison with imipenem, ceftazidime, ceftizoxime, cefuzonam, piperacillin, KT-3777, cefaclor, cefixime, amoxicillin, vancomycin, cefotiam and minocycline. The results were as follows, 1) Antimicrobial activity : Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against 180 clinical isolates including 5 different species were determined by the microbroth dilution method. TEIC showed excellent antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). 2) Clinical efficacy and adverse reactions : 8 patients with infections such as sepsis, pneumonia and pulmonary abscess were treated with TEIC, and the overall efficacy was good in 3 cases, poor in 1 case and unjudged in 4 cases. Fever was observed in 1 case as a side effect of TEIC. Eosinophilia in 1 case and elevation of GOT and GPT in 1 case were also observed as abnormal laboratory findings, however, they were mild and transient, and improved rapidly after the completion of TEIC treatment.
