Application

Vancomycin hydrochloride may be used-
  • for the assessment of the antimicrobial activity of vancomycin hydrochloride against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in nonreplicating persistence (NRP) using low-oxygen-recovery assay (LORA) and against a luciferase reporter strain of M. tuberculosis in a fermentor-grown culture adapted to low oxygen conditions
  • for the estimation of biomass in a culture of various strains of bacteria
  • as a positive control for E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus in antibacterial activity assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Vancomycin is bactericidal in nature, where it inhibits the synthesis of peptidoglycan. It forms hydrogen bond with the peptidoglycan precursor UDP-N-acetylmuramylpentapeptide, and forms a stoichiometric 1:1 complex. Thus, it prevents the growth of the glycan polymer of peptidoglycan by transglycosylase enzyme.

General description

Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic, which was initially isolated from Streptomyces orientalis. It is effective against multidrug-resistant MRSA strain (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). However, it is nephrotoxic as it is mainly excreted by the kidneys. It has a core heptapeptide having aliphatic amino acids at positions 1 and 3. It is mainly effective against gram-positive bacteria.
