商品名：Vancocin and Vancoled
Antibacterial drug. Vancomycin is bactericidal for most organisms and bacteriostatic for enterococci. It inhibits the cell wall by binding to the D-alanyl-D-allanine portion of cell wall precursors and interfering with the bacterial cell wall. The bactericidal action occurs by activating bacterial cell wall autolysins. Spectrum includes Streptococcus, Enterococcus, and Staphylococcus. Strains of Staphylococcus treated often are called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (e.g., methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [MRSA] or Staphylococcus pseudintermedius [MRSP]).
Vancomycin is used for resistant strains of Staphylococcus or Enterococcus in animals. It is the most common injectable drug to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus species and drug-resistant Enterococcus spp. It is not effective against gram-negative bacteria. Vancomycin use is not common in animals because it is inconvenient to administer. However, it can be valuable for treatment of enterococci or staphylococci that are resistant to other antibiotics. It also has been administered orally to people for diarrhea caused by Clostridium spp. Occasionally it has been used in horses for loca
