This item can only be shipped to clinics or research facilities.

Glycopeptide antibiotic that inhibits formation of peptidoglycan polymers of the bacterial cell wall. Differs from penicillin's that act primarily to prevent the crosslinking of peptidoglycans. Vancomycin prevents the transfer and addition of the muramyl pentapeptide building blocks that form the peptidoglycan molecule. Produces a synergism in antimicrobial activity when combined with Cefotaxime or Carbenicillin. Especially used by Agrobacterium species with a high ²-Lactamase production.
