Antibacterial therapy: problems and promises, Part II.
Numerous antibacterial agents recently or soon to be available are reviewed: new quinolones, macrolides, aminoglycosides, glycopeptides, and lipopeptides. Overall, these agents do much to improve antibacterial activity against problem organisms, overcome resistance, and reduce toxicity and frequency of administration. Many are orally administered and will shorten hospital stays.
