Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic medication used to treat a number of bacterial infections.[7] It is used intravenously (injection into a vein) as a treatment for complicated skin infections, bloodstream infections, endocarditis, bone and joint infections, and meningitis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.[8] Blood levels may be measured to determine the correct dose.[9] Vancomycin is also taken orally (by mouth) as a treatment for severe Clostridium difficile colitis.[7] When taken orally it is poorly absorbed.[7]

Common side effects include pain in the area of injection and allergic reactions.[7] Occasionally, hearing loss, low blood pressure, or bone marrow suppression occur.[7] Safety in pregnancy is not clear, but no evidence of harm has been found,[7][10] and it is likely safe for use when breastfeeding.[11] It is a type of glycopeptide antibiotic and works by blocking the construction of a cell wall.[7]

Vancomycin was approved for medical use in the United States in 1958.[12] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[13][14] The World Health Organization classifies vancomycin as critically important for human medicine.[15] It is available as a generic medication.[9] Vancomycin is made by the soil bacterium Amycolatopsis orientalis.[7]
