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 ...

This suggests bacteria already have a hard time overcoming vancomycin's original "mechanism of action," which works by disrupting how bacteria form cell walls. Boger called vancomycin "magical ...

One glycopeptide, vancomycin, had long been reliable ... The targeted pore-formation mechanism of action of nisin and similar lantibiotics is the only example of its type described so far.

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 ...

Article continues below Dale Boger, co-chair of TSRI’s Department of Chemistry, said the new vancomycin was the first antibiotic to have three independent “mechanisms of action” to kill ...

Objective: To systematically evaluate the literature to determine whether vancomycin-induced neutropenia is dose- or duration-related and provide clinicians with feasible treatment alternatives.

While cefazolin remains the mainstay of antimicrobial prophylaxis in most surgical procedures, there is a growing propensity to combine cefazolin with vancomycin in a number of procedures where ...

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

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 ...

Vancomycin and cefepime were administered for 8 days; blood cultures obtained during this period were sterile. The patient remained in the hospital to receive chemotherapy with gemcitabine ...

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 ...
