Abstract
Pholipomycin, a new member of the phosphoglycolipid antibiotics, was primarily active against gram-positive bacteria including clinically isolated resistant bacteria. It differed from other members of the antibiotic family as it also demonstrated activity against gram-negative bacteria. Pholipomycin protected mice from infection with Staphylococcus aureus and was nontoxic to mice having an LD50 (i.v.) of 600 mg/kg. Besides possessing antimicrobiol activity, pholipomycin, when administered orally, appeared to promote growth in chickens and pigs.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
