Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic. It excerts its action by inhibiting the formation of the peptidoglycan polymers of the bacterial cell wall. Unlike penicillins that act primarily to prevent the crosslinking of peptidoglycans that give the cell its strength, vancomycin prevents the transfer and addition of the muramylpentapeptide building blocks that form the peptidoglycan molecular itself. Vancomycin is often used in combination with cefotaxim or carbenicillin to obtain a synergism in antimicrobial activity against bacteria. Especially used by Agrobacterium species with b-lactamase production.
Solutions are most stable at pH 3-5 and should be stored at 2-8 ℃. Solutions of vancomycin should be sterilized by sterile filtration, rather than by autoclaving.
This product is soluble in water (0.5 mg/mL), yielding a clear solution.
Store at 4℃
