Vancomycin hydrochloride is a glycopeptide used in research for studying antibiotic action mechanisms and bacterial resistance. In microbiology and biochemistry laboratories, vancomycin hydrochloride is utilized as a tool to explore the integrity of bacterial cell walls, specifically targeting Gram-positive bacteria. It binds to the D-alanyl-D-alanine terminus of cell wall precursor units, inhibiting cell wall synthesis, which is a fundamental process for bacterial growth and survival. This action makes vancomycin hydrochloride a reference compound in assays to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics. Additionally, it is used in biochemical research to investigate the pathways leading to vancomycin resistance, particularly the role of altered target sites in the bacterial cell wall.
