Insights into Key Interactions between Vancomycin and Bacterial Cell Wall Structures
Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic used for the treatment of serious infections by Gram-positive pathogens. Vancomycin inhibits cell wall biosynthesis by targeting the d-Ala-d-Ala terminus of peptidoglycan (PG).
