In vitro activity of ramoplanin, a cyclic lipoglycopeptide, against 92 vancomycin-resistant gram-positive organisms was evaluated. Ramoplanin demonstrated potent activity against many highly vancomycin-resistant organisms including enterococci (MICs for 90% of strains tested of 0.5 micrograms/ml) and against Lactobacillus spp., Leuconostoc spp., and Pediococcus spp., all of which were inhibited at concentrations of < or = 0.25 micrograms/ml. This drug or a derivative compound merits further investigation as a potential therapeutic agent for infections due to vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
对环脂肽类药物瑞莫拉宁针对92株耐万古霉素革兰氏阳性菌的体外活性进行了评估。瑞莫拉宁对许多高度耐万古霉素的细菌表现出强效活性,包括肠球菌(90%受试菌株的MIC为0.5微克/毫升)以及乳酸杆菌属、明串珠菌属和片球菌属,所有这些菌在浓度≤0.25微克/毫升时均受到抑制。这种药物或其衍生化合物作为耐万古霉素肠球菌感染的潜在治疗药物值得进一步研究。
