1 Reengineering Vancomycin to Combat Bacterial Resistance Matthew Giletto September 18, 2013 CEM 958

2 Overview Why bacterial resistance to antibiotics is an important area of research Review the history of vancomycin, its structural elucidation and mechanism of action Track the development of bacterial resistance to vancomycin Examine SAR work on vancomycin Learn how vancomycin has been assembled in the laboratory and propose how this knowledge may let us build better vancomycin(s)

3 Bacterial resistance to antibiotics Meticillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, killed 19,000 people (2005) invasively effected 94,000 in the US (2005) 3-4 billion dollars (2005) Vancomycin was last line defense against multidrug resistant pathogens Vancomycin resistant S. aureus, VRSA Vancomycin resistant Enterococci, VRE Resistance is acquired as a result of gene transfer from nonpathogens to pathogens and between pathogens Walsh, C.
