Video Summary of Miscellaneous cell wall synthesis inhibitors
The inhibition of bacteria's cell wall synthesis is a common and successful strategy for treating a broad range of bacterial infection. The major cell wall synthesis inhibitors currently in use are the beta-lactams (e.g., penicillin and cephalosporins), which block the formation of the peptidoglycan layer, and glycopeptides (vancomycin and teicoplanin), which disrupt assembly of the peptidoglycan precursor lipid II.
