General description

Chemical structure: glycopeptide
Vancomycin is a heptapeptide.

Application

Vancomycin hydrochloride from Streptomyces orientalis has been used as:
  • an antibiotic in screening: minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) Streptomyces coelicolor
  • in treating Leishmania infected sand flies
  • in combined antibiotic treatment in asthma induced mice

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mode of action: Inhibits incorporation of terminal D-alanyl-D-alanine moieties of the NAM/NAG-peptides.

Antimicrobial Spectrum: Active against Gram-positive bacteria
Vancomycin is used for treating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections and shunt-associated Staphylococcal ventriculitis. It may lead to hypersensitivity reactions like anaphylaxis and red man syndrome. Vanomycin is also used to treat thrombocytopenia and induces drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) on usage.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
