Teicoplanin is a glycopeptide antibiotic active against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant staphylococci. While teicoplanin trough levels (TTLs) >10 mg/L are commonly considered appropriate, levels >20 mg/L are aimed for in the treatment of severe infections. Due to toxicity, it is recommended to avoid levels >60 mg/L.
