Vancomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, used in the treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. vancomycin is not active against Gram-negative bacteria (except some non-gonococcal species of Neisseria). The main target of this antibiotic is the D-alanyl-D-alanine terminal dipeptide of peptidoglycan precursors, used by bacteria for constructing their cell walls. This prevents the reaction used to link peptidoglycan precursors together from taking place. Vancomycin binds with the substrate, not the enzyme, in contrast to the way penicillin inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis.
