Vancomycin
• Glycopeptides: glycosylated nonribosmal peptides (cyclic/polycyclic) derived from
filamentous Actinomycetes
• Vancomycin: 1st glycopeptide antibiotic:
isolated from Amycolatopsis orientalis (aka Streptomyces orientalis or Nocardia orientalis)
found in soil sample from Borneo in 1956
• 1958 – introduced against penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
• High rate of toxicity observed with initial formulation.
• “Mississippi mud”, owing to colour provided by impurities.
6
Structure of Vancomycin
Tricyclic glycopeptide
7-membered peptide chain
forming tricyclic structure
Disaccharide attached (composed of
amino sugar vancosamine and
glucose)
Molecular weight
1486 Da (very large; cannot
penetrate gram negative)
7
Mechanism of action
Inhibition of cell wall synthesis in
‘dividing’ bacteria.
• Target : nascent peptidoglycan
precursor units (lipid II)
• Complexes formed via 5
hydrogen bonds with two
carboxyl-terminal D-alanine
residues of peptidoglycan
precursors - acyl-D-ala-D-ala
moiety
Transglycosylation blocked
(blocks incorporation of
disaccharide pentapeptide
subunits into nascent
peptidoglycan)
• Prevents cross linking of
peptidoglycans

• ↓ autolytic activity
Vancomycin resistance
17
 Heteroresistance VISA (hVISA):“precursor of VISAs”
Subpopulation of cells which grow at high vancomycin MIC (>2) on vancomycin-containing agar.
• Mutations in 2-component regulatory system that control
several genes involved in cell wall homeostasis:-
1) VraSR system –histidine-kinase (VraS) and response
regulator (VraR) - participate in cell wall turnover and
cell wall envelope stress response.
2) WalkR –decreases autolytic activity in cell walls
When testing isolates at standard inoculum certain
subpopulation of cells are not detected and [“vancomycin
MIC will falsely fall within susceptibility range]”.
Conventional susceptibility tests do not identify
heteroresistance (until much higher fraction of
resistant cells is present)!!!
Population analysis profile (PAP) (determination of number of surviving cells at
increasing antibiotic concentrations) is required for detection.
disk diffusion method only detects strains with very high vancomycin MICs and fails to
detect hVISA isolate.
“MIC determinations by agar or broth dilution or by Etests are recommended for
vancomycin susceptibility.”

distinct carbohydrates D-mannose and
D-glycosamine
acyl residue that carries various fatty
acids (↑lipophilicity and penetration)

 Even acts on stationary cells and biofilms!!!
 Bacterial cell lysis does not produce inflammatory
changes
Daptomycin:
Mechanism of action
• Step 1: Binds to cell membrane of
gram-positive organisms in calcium-
dependent manner
• Step 2: oligomerization of antibiotic
molecules within cell membrane.
• Step 3: Daptomycin produces
irreversible alteration of cell
membrane structure and physiology
• Leakage of intracellular cations e.g.
K+; through a channel – rapid
depolarization and cell
death.→DNA/RNA/Protein synthesis
termination
32
When complexed with calcium at physiologic
concentrations, daptomycin acts as cation,
allowing it to bind to –ve charged bacterial cell
membrane.
Uses
• Spectrum closely overlaps that of glycopeptides:
• daptomycin generally maintains its activity against Streptococcus/Staphylococcus/Enterococcal sp and those
with decreased susceptibility to glycopeptides
• Also against:
 Vancomycin-/linezolid- and quinupristin dalfopristin resistant sp.
• May be seen in intracellular osteoblasts
POOR ACTIVITY IN LUNGS/Inactivated by surfactant (but can be used in septic pulmonary
emboli.)
The only antibiotic with non-inferiority to Vancomycin in MRSA bacteremia.

Risk of acquired daptomycin resistance:
patients with prior vancomycin use: enterococcus

    Daptomycin: Mechanism of action •Step 1: Binds to cell membrane of gram-positive organisms in calcium- dependent manner • Step 2: oligomerization of antibiotic molecules within cell membrane. • Step 3: Daptomycin produces irreversible alteration of cell membrane structure and physiology • Leakage of intracellular cations e.g. K+; through a channel – rapid depolarization and cell death.→DNA/RNA/Protein synthesis termination 32 When complexed with calcium at physiologic concentrations, daptomycin acts as cation, allowing it to bind to –ve charged bacterial cell membrane.
