Antibiotics, also known as antibacterials, are medications that destroy or slow down these drugs usually interfere with either the formation of the bacterial cell wall or its cell contents. Chitin synthesis, inhibited by the polyoxins and. This drug inhibits cell wall synthesis and until recently was the last line of defense against drug resistant staph.
How do antibiotics kill only bacteria, not our cells, whereas our cells are also living?
Synthesis of cell wall • the glycan backbones of the existing cell wall is enzymatically broken (by autolysins) to allow insertion of the newly synthesized bacitracin inhibits the dephosphorylation reaction and in the absence of monophosphorylated carrier peptidoglycan subunit synthesis stops. It acts by preventing the transpeptidation reaction between the nag and nam molecules which are the main constituents of a bacterial cell wall. Which in turn inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan. Cell wall synthesis inhibitors 1.
