    Vancomycin resistance in some bacteria is caused by an altered peptidoglycan terminus that changes from d-ala-d-ala to d-ala-d-lac, reducing vancomycin's ability to bind and prevent cell wall synthesis. This vancomycin resistance mechanism involves an altered peptidoglycan terminus in the bacterial cell wall.

    ANTIMICROBIAL

    RESISTANCE
    • Vancomycin resistance is caused by an
    • altered peptidoglycan terminus
    • (d-ala-d-lac instead of the usual d-ala-d-ala),
    • resulting in reduced vancomycin binding and
    • failure to prevent cell wall synthesis. 
    • Resistance in vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus and glycopeptide-
    intermediate S
