Abbreviation: VM
INTENDED USE:
Vancomycin Determination Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test for the
quantitative detection of VM in human serum and plasma specimens.
Vancomycin, a tricyclic glycopeptide antibiotic, is the antibiotic of
choice for the clinical treatment of severe infections caused by
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus epidermidis and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus
pneumoniae. It has a strong bactericidal effect on Gram-positive
bacteria, but its therapeutic index is narrow, individual metabolism
differences are significant, and it has significant ototoxicity and
nephrotoxicity. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor its blood
concentration to adjust the dosage clinically.
