Abstract excerpt
The vancomycin resistance expressed by several strains of Enterococcus gallinarum was studied. Resistance was expressed constitutively, as demonstrated by analysis of growth and inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis. E. gallinarum strains were moderately resistant to vancomycin (MIC, 16 micrograms/ml) but were as susceptible as vancomycin-susceptible enterococci to the glycopeptides, teicoplanin, A35512B, A47934,...
