Glycopeptide antibiotics are drugs used to treat infections caused by multi-drug resistant Gram-positive pathogens. They are derived from microbial natural products, particularly bacteria from the phylum Actinobacteria, known for producing a diverse range of bioactive compounds. The identification of glycope...
(BAL) fluid may decrease the rate of unnecessary antimicrobial treatment [29,40].

and a guinea pig pneumonia model. These studies showed that an in vivo PAE exists against gram-negative organisms for aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, erythromycin, clindamycin, and tetracycline, but not for β-lactams. As in the in vitro studies, β-lactam agents do produce abbreviated PAEs agai...
