Vancomycin Hydrochloride is a widely used antibiotic that belongs to the glycopeptide class of antibiotics.

It is primarily effective against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE).

In the field of microbiology and research, Vancomycin Hydrochloride is used as a selective agent in culture media. It is added to growth media to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and selectively allow the growth of Gram-negative bacteria or other microorganisms. This property makes it a valuable tool in the isolation and identification of bacteria in laboratory settings.
