Q

What is the MOA of

Beta lactams

A

Inhibit transpeptidase
(“PBP” - enzyme that catalyze crosslinking)

= inhibits cross-linking = cell wall loses strength = cell lysis = bacteriCIDAL

A

Daptomycin

37
Q

What is the MOA of daptomycin?

A

Interferes with inner cell membrane by intercalating into membrane and creating a channel

38

A

Telavancin

39
Q

What is the MOA of Telavancin

A

Binds D-Ala-D-Ala to prevent cross-linking
(Cell wall synthesis inhibitor)

Also Incorporates into cell membrane to depolarize it and make it more permeable
