Vancomycin

Medical Clinics of North America, 1995
Vancomycin is a nontoxic glycopeptide antibiotic most often used to treat serious gram-positive infections, C. difficile diarrhea/colitis, and endocarditis and hemodialysis shunt prophylaxis. Vancomycin should not be added to drug regimens for gram-positive coverage, and the empiric use of vancomycin should be discouraged to avoid the emergence of VRE.

Iterative Chemical Engineering of Vancomycin Leads to Novel Vancomycin Analogs With a High in Vitro Therapeutic Index

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic that inhibits transpeptidation during cell wall synthesis by binding to the D-Ala-D-Ala termini of lipid II. For long, it has been used as a last resort antibiotic.
