The respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange in animals-that is, the respiratory system transfers oxygen and carbon dioxide from the air to the circulatory system, and vice versa, across the respiratory surface. Different organisms utilize different methods of respiration.
Vancomycin is a branched tricyclic glycosylated peptide with bactericidal activity against most organisms and bacteriostatic effect on enterococci.
Vancomycin is indicated for penicillin-allergic patients, for patients who cannot receive or who have failed to respond to other drugs, including the penicillins or cephalosporins, and for infections caused by Vancomycin susceptible organisms that are resistant to other antimicrobial drugs.
