Antibiotics

Inhibitors of Cell Wall Synthesis These antibiotics target the bacterial cell wall, leading to lysis and death. Beta-lactams: Interfere with peptidoglycan synthesis by inhibiting penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs).Examples: Glycopeptides: Bind to peptidoglycan precursors, preventing cross-linking.Examples: Vancomycin, Teicoplanin. Others: Bacitracin (used topically). Inhibitors of Protein Synthesis These antibiotics target bacterial ribosomes, disrupting ... Read More
