THE glycopeptide antibiotic agents vancomycin and teicoplanin are useful in the treatment of severe infections due to gram-positive bacteria.123Staphylococci, streptococci, and enterococci are almost always susceptible to these agents, which constitute an alternative to the penicillins in cases of resistance or intolerance.Resistance to glycopeptides is extremely common in leuconostoc species4and pediococcus species and also occurs in lactobacilli.5,6These gram-positive bacteria rarely cause infections and are considered opportunistic pathogens. The emergence of strains ofStaphylococcus haemolyticusthat became resistant during vancomycin therapy has recently been reported.7Resistance to vancomycin is rare in streptococci.8Enterococcal isolates with minimal inhibitory . . .
