Using equilibrium theory, we quantitatively describe the mechanical responses of vancomycin ... area per receptor molecule on the cantilever surface influences ligand–receptor binding and ...

"We did this by modifying vancomycin's membrane-binding properties to selectively bind to bacterial membranes rather than those of human cells, creating a series of supercharged vancomycin ...

Nature Chemical Biology paper suggests that bacteria detect the antibiotic itself and not its effect on the bacterial cell wall. Researchers report that they have figured out how bacteria ...

Despite pharmacological equivalence, generic vancomycin preparations exhibited inferior antimicrobial activity compared with the brand product in an infection model. According to WHO regulations ...

Vancomycin and cefepime were administered for 8 days; blood cultures obtained during this period were sterile. The patient remained in the hospital to receive chemotherapy with gemcitabine ...

“It’s obviously speculative, but the better the virus becomes at likely binding to human receptors—it’s not great because it’s going to probably lead to human-to-human transmission ...
