The Vancomycin Group of Antibiotics and the Fight against Resistant Bacteria

3 May 1999

Abstract excerpt

A last line of defence against "superbugs" are the vancomycin group antibiotics. This review describes the determination of their mode of action, and a mechanism of resistance to them. Remarkably, this mechanism of resistance can be overcome without directly modifying the binding site of the antibiotics for the cell-wall precursors of pathogenic bacteria.
