COMPOSITION:
Vancomycin 500mg/1000mg
MODE OF ACTION:
Vancomycin exerts its bactericidal effect by inhibiting the polymerization of peptidoglycans in the bacterial cell wall. Vancomycin binds to d-alanyl d-alanine, which inhibits peptidoglycan synthase and the p-phospholipid carrier, thereby preventing the synthesis and polymerization of NAM and NAG within the peptidoglycan layer. Ultimately causes leakage of intracellular components, resulting in bacterial cell death.
