Oritavancin is an investigational lipoglycopeptide in clinical development for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. In this study, we demonstrate that oritavancin causes bacterial membrane depolarization and permeabilization leading to cell death of Gram-positive pathogens and that these effects are attributable to the 4'-chlorobiphenylmethyl group of the molecule.
奥他万古霉素是一种临床开发中的糖肽类抗生素,用于治疗急性细菌性皮肤和皮肤结构感染。在这项研究中,我们证明奥他万古霉素可导致革兰氏阳性病原体的细胞膜去极化和通透性增加,从而导致细胞死亡,而这些作用归因于该分子的 4'-氯联苯甲基基团。
