What is the Mechanism of Action of Beta Lactams?
- inhibits transpeptidase
- stimulates production of bacterial autolysins with normal remodel the bacterial cell wall
what is the mechanism of action of Vancomycin?
binds to peptide chain, preventing transpeptidases from binding
what is the mechanism of action of bacitracin
can’t recycle lipid carrier
what is the mechanism of action of polymixin?
increases cell membrane permeability
