title: In vitro activity in deptomycin (LY-146032) compared with other antimicrobial agents against gram-positive cocci.
abstract: A comparison was made of the activity of deptomycin (LY-146032) with that of ampicillin, cephalexin, cefamandole, cephalothin, erythromycin, teicoplanin, tetracycline, and vancomycin. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MICs) for greater than or equal to 90% of 356 Gram-positive cocci, against deptomycin, were less than or equal to 2 micrograms/ml. The MICs for the other antimicrobials varied greatly depending on the compound. A slight and unexplained inoculum effect was observed for LY-146032.
