ANTIBACTERIAL PROPERTIES OF AMICOUMYCIN A
Abstract
The in vitro activity of the antibiotic amikumacin A against 22 collective test strains and 24 clinical isolates of bacteria and fungi was studied. It is shown that amicoumycin A has a broad antimicrobial spectrum of activity. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of amicoumycin A against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and resistant to glycopeptide antibiotics of vancomycin group (VR) test strain Leuconostoc mesenteroides of 0.06 ^g/disk were established. In the study of multidrug-resistant clinical isolates, amikumacin A exhibited activity against S.aureus, S.epidermidis, C.krusei, Cr.neoformis and Prototheca spp. strains.
