Telavancin

A semi-synthetic lipoglycopeptide antibiotic derived from vancomycin, active against Gram-positive bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); in the United States it was approved in 2009 for complicated skin infections and in 2013 for hospital-acquired pneumonia. This family brings together the active ingredient and nitrosamines.

Did you know?It descends from vancomycin, isolated in 1953 from a bacterium found in a soil sample from a forest in Borneo; unlike its parent molecule it strikes in two ways, blocking the bacterial cell wall and depolarising the membrane.
