This study reports the in vitro activity of vancomycin against 174 Gram-positive cocci isolated in nosocomial patients. Vancomycin was shown to have a slightly better activity than teicoplanin and was the most active of all other agents tested including imipenem, new quinolones and aminoglycosides.
