BACKGROUND Teicoplanin is a glycopeptide antibiotic that has been used to treat serious, invasive infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. The area under the drug concentration-time curve (AUC)/minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was identified as a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) parameter of glycopeptide antibiotics that correlated with bacteriological responses and clinical ou...

efficacy; whereas in the patients treated with penicillin V, no differences would be found with respect to bacteriological (P = 1.0) and clinical efficacy (P = 1.0) between patients with a clarithromycin-susceptible strain and those with a clarithromycin-resistant strain.
