Vancomycin
CAS#: 1404-90-6
Vancomycin is an antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-positive bacteria like MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus). It works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in bacteria. Due to its potency and risk of side effects, it’s often used as a last-resort medication. It is commonly administered intravenously, although oral forms are available for specific gut infections.
