Vancomycin hydrochloride, also known as Vancomycin, is a glycopeptide antibiotic. It is currently the first-line treatment for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. It has strong bactericidal effects against various gram-positive bacteria, especially MRSA, Staphylococcus epidermidis (...
Vancomycin is a nontoxic glycopeptide antibiotic most often used to treat serious gram-positive infections, C. difficile diarrhea/colitis, and endocarditis and hemodialysis shunt prophylaxis. Vancomycin should not be added to drug regimens for gram-positive coverage, and the empiric use of vancomycin ...
The overexposure to antibiotics in the body can promote antibiotic resistance. In contrast, narrow-spectrum antibiotics such as older penicillin-based antibiotics, the macrolide class and vancomycin have more specific targets and are less likely to cause issues in the gastrointestinal tract. ...

their misuse or overuse has led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria7. According to the WHO,Salmonellaspp.,Enterobacteriaceae, andStaphylococcus aureusare listed on the priority pathogen list for future research and development of new antibiotics8.

Although microbial populations in the gut microbiome are associated with COVID-19 severity, a causal impact on patient health has not been established. Here we provide evidence that gut microbiome dysbiosis is associated with translocation of bacteria in
In the past, Enterococcus was easily curable with common antibiotics such asvancomycin. Some bacterial strains are so prolific, however, that they have developed a strong resistance to antibiotic treatment over the last few decades.Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcusposes a challenge to health care workers...
