Abstract
The combination of the new glycopcptidc LY264826 and gentamicin was compared with the combination of vancomycin and gentamicin against 30 strains of enterococci, comprising 20 strains of Enterococcus faecalis, five strains of Enterococcus faecalis and five strains of Enterococcus avhim, isolated from blood cultures. LY264826 phis gentamicin was synergic against E. faecalis and E. faecium, but not against E. avium.
