| Description | Parvodicin complex is a mixture of closely related lipophilic glycopeptides originally isolated from A. parvosata. The parvodicin complex has activity against Gram-positive bacteria (MICs = 0.8-12.5 μg/ml) including methicillin-resistant strains of S. aureus (MRSA), S. hemolyticus, and E. faecalis (MICs = 0.1-25 μg/ml). Glycopeptide antibiotics act by preventing cell wall synthesis by binding and sequestering a cell wall precursor with a D-alanine-containing peptide. |
