Inhibits protein synthesis by irreversibly binding to 30S ribosomal subunits
Vancomycin MOA
Dalbavacin MOA
Inhibits 2nd stage of cell wall synthesis by binding to D-Ala-D-Ala cell wall precursors
Quinupristin-dalfopristin MOA
Inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunits
Linezolid MOA
Tedizolid MOA
Inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunit near 30S interface
Daptomycin MOA
Causes membrane depolarization by inserting lipophilic tail in cell wall
Telavancin MOA
Oritavacin MOA
Inhibits cell wall synthesis by binding to D-Ala-D-Ala cell wall precursors AND causes membrane depolarization by inserting lipophilic tail in cell wall

Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole MOA
Sequential inhibition of microbial folic acid synthesis pathway by inhibiting bacterial dihydropteroate synthetase and dihydrofolate reductase
Polymyxins MOA
Binds to phospholipids in cell membrane causing displacement of Ca and Mg which leads to changes in cell wall permeability and leakage of cellular contents
