Application :
Teicoplanin is a glycopeptide antibiotic used in the prophylaxis and treatment of serious infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. It acts against both methicillin sensitive and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). It is as efficacious as vancomycin against these organisms. The efficacy of teicoplanin against Staphylococcus aureus can be improved by addition of aminoglycosides for synergistic effect. Teicoplanin is more efficacious than vancomycin for some of the streptococci especially enterococci. Teicoplanin is also effective against Listeria monocytogenes, Corynebacterium spp., Clostridium spp., and anaerobic Gram-positive cocci(2).
