Vancomycin
Binds rapidly and irreversibly to the D-alanyl-D-alanine muramyl pentapeptide of cell wall precursors _ _ polymerization of peptidoglycans
Daptomycin
Penetrates bacterial cell wall, forming a channel for subsequent leakage of intracellular ions
Colistin (Polymyxin E); Polymyxin B
Cationic detergents _ Distortion of the membrane lipid structure, _ permeability to polar molecules, via channel
