Glycopeptide Antibiotics Market, by Drug (Vancocin, Orbactiv, Dalvance, Kimyrsa, and Others), by Disease Indication (Clostridium difficile-associated Diarrhea, Endocarditis, Skin Structure Infections, and Others), by Distribution channel (Hospital Pharmacy, Retail Pharmacy, and Online Pharmacy), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Glycopeptide antibiotics are the type of antibiotics that inhibit bacterial cell wall formation by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis. Glycopeptide antibiotics are used for the treatment of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, endocarditis, enterocolitis Pneumonia acquired during a hospital stay or that develops while using a ventilator, and severe skin and skin structure infections. Gram-positive bacteria, which do not have an outer membrane covering their cell walls, and gram-negative bacteria, which have an additional membrane covering the cell walls, are the two main types of bacteria that cause infections. Gram-negative bacteria are resistant to glycopeptides because they have an outer membrane that prevents the entry of glycopeptides into their cell wall, although glycopeptides are effective against gram-positive bacterial infections.
Moreover, some glycoproteins are administered through the intravenous route in severe infection and oral treatment is used at the time of mild infection. Life-threatening infections brought on by multidrug-resistant Gram-positive organisms like Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus species, and Clostridium difficile are routinely treated using glycopeptide antibiotics (GPAs). One of a group of antibiotics has structures that contain either a glycosylated cyclic or polycyclic nonribosomal peptide that was first isolated from plant and soil bacteria. By preventing the manufacture of peptidoglycan, these antibiotics interfere with the cell wall construction of organisms that are sensitive (mostly Gram-positive cocci). Vancomycin, teicoplanin, and ramoplanin are examples of first-generation glycopeptide antibiotics. Oritavancin, dalbavancin, and telavancin are examples of second-generation semi-synthetic glycopeptide antibiotics.
Market Dynamics
Increasing product launch and approval of glycopeptide antibiotics are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in June 2019, ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company received the U.S. FDA prior approval supplement for its Vancomycin Hydrochloride for Oral Solution USP, 250 mg/5 ml for the treatment of various infections.
