Does vancomycin treat gram negative bacterial infections?
Vancomycin is used to treat both Gram positive and Gram negative coccal infections. The drug inhibits the synthesis of peptigoglycan, a vital component of the cell wall of both Gram positive and Gram negative cocci. Although Gram negative cocci have an additional outer membrane that "vanco" can't penetrate, it can crack the outer membrane, ultimately allowing the drug to act on the cell.
