Basic hydrolyses carried out on the glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin or its acidic hydrolysis products give rise to epimeric species which retain little antibiotic activity. The detailed structure of a sample epimer has been determined using 1H NMR spectroscopy.

The major therapeutic strategy used to treat exacerbated cystic fibrosis (CF) is antibiotic treatment. As this approach easily generates antibiotic-resistant strains of opportunistic bacteria, optimized antibiotic therapies are required to effectively control chronic and recurrent bacterial infections in CF patients. A promising future for the proper use of antibiotics is the management of lung...
