📋Overview
Vancomycin is a powerful antibiotic used to combat serious bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-positive bacteria. It is often associated with the treatment of infections that are resistant to other antibiotics, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Vancomycin is also used in cases of severe infections like endocarditis, bone infections, and certain types of pneumonia. Its use is typically reserved for situations where other antibiotics are ineffective.
