Vancomycin (as HCl) 500mg/vial, 1g/vial; lyophilized pwd for IV infusion after reconstitution and dilution. The bactericidal action of vancomycin results primarily from inhibition of cell-wall ...

Researchers have identified the specific mechanism that triggers resistance to vancomycin. A new study led by the scientific director of the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease ...

Mechanism of action describes the process by which a molecule, such as a drug, functions to produce a pharmacological effect. A drug’s mechanism of action may refer to its effects on a ...

Dr. Wright’s group studied the vancomycin-resistance mechanism in the harmless soil bacteria Streptomyces coelicolor. They showed that bacteria detect vancomycin itself. Additionally ...

aureus have been ascribed, there remains a lot of work to do -- especially given the varied mechanisms behind vancomycin-tolerance S. aureus. "The next steps are to understand if [the regulatory ...

Wright and his team studied the vancomycin-resistance mechanism in the harmless soil bacteria Streptomyces coelicolor. The scientists showed that bacteria detect vancomycin itself. They also ...

Comparison of Clinical and Microbiologic Characteristics of Strains of Vancomycin-Resistant Group ... and mode of acquisition of the resistance mechanism, along with the clinical effect.

Patients receiving oral vancomycin therapy were identified as having CDAD, the only indication for this drug. Each case subject was matched with up to 10 control subjects. Neither the cases nor the ...
