Teicoplanin is a naturally occurring complex of five closely related tetracyclic molecules. Its mode of action and spectrum of activity are essentially similar to vancomycin, although it might be less active a inst some strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci. Teicoplanin can be administered by intramuscular injection.

In healthy individuals URT flora multiplies in gastric aspirate during treatment with antisecretory compounds and in particular proton pump inhibitors [34, 40, 44], This concerns viridans streptococci, coagulase-negative staphylococci, Haemophilus sp., diphtheroids, Moraxella sp., lactobacilli, and other streptococci, most of which are Gram-positive bacteria. With dedicated measures anaerobic species of oral origin are also recovered [66]. 

Caution must be used in the evaluation of positive culture results from normally sterile sites (e.g., blood, cerebrospinal fluid, joint fluid). The recovery of bacteria normally found on the skin in large quantities (e.g., coagulase-negative staphylococci, diphtheroids) from one of these sites may be a result of contamination of the specimen rather than a true infection. 

S. aureus has become more prevalent as a cause of endocarditis because of increased IV drug abuse, frequent use of peripheral and central venous catheters, and valve-replacement surgery. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNST, usually S. epidermidis) are prominent causes of PVE. 

According to the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System, the five most common pathogens encountered in surgical wounds are Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci, Enterococci, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Penicilhns that are resistant to penicilhnase are the drug of choice for infections resistant to penicillin G, Staph, aureus, or coagulase-negative staphylococci. They are also effective for infections caused by nonenterococcus types of streptococci, such as streptococci groups A, B, C, and G, as weh as pneumococci. 

Gram-positive cocci, especially viridans streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus, cause the vast majority of episodes of endocarditis in individuals without a prosthetic heart device. In prosthetic device endocarditis coagulase-negative staphylococci and S. aureus are major pathogens early after the implantation of the device later episodes of prosthetic device associated endocarditis are more likely due to viridans streptococci. Enterococci-bacteremia is associated with lesions in the digestive tract and frequently causes endocarditis. Gram-negative bacilli cause <5% of episodes of bacterial endocarditis. 

Multiply resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci are frequently the cause of postoperative endophtalmitis and require the use of a glycopep-tide (e.g. vancomycin). For topical treatment fusidic acid eye gel, tetracycline or chloramphenicol ointment are available, and can be administered 2 t.d. for 7 days. Trachoma should be treated with an oral macrolide (e.g. a single oral dose of 20 mg/kg azithromycin) or doxycyclin for 3 weeks (for moderate to severe cases). Keratitis needs hourly administration of fortified antibiotic eye drops for 2 weeks. Endophtalmitis needs specialist treatment for 6 weeks.

When the fluoroquinolones were first introduced, there was optimism that resistance would not develop. Although no plasmid-mediated resistance has been reported, resistance of MRSA, pseudomonas, coagulase-negative staphylococci and enterococci has unfortunately emerged due to chromosomal mutations. Crossresistance exists among the quinolones. The mechanisms responsible for this resistance include ... 

These agents are also effective against Staphylococci organisms such as S. aureus and coagulase-negative strains of Staphylococci such as Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Insertion of prosthetic joints. Chemoprophylaxis is justified because infection (Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci and coliforms are commonest) almost invariably means that the artificial joint, valve or vessel must be replaced (various regimens are used, with inclusion of vancomycin when the local MRSA prevalence is high). Single perioperative doses of appropriate antibiotics with plasma...
