Question 1 : mechanism of action of vancomycin
Interferes with cell wall development by blocking the attachment of new cell wall subunits
blocks cross-linking of the cell wall structure
inhibits cell wall production by blocking the step in the process (recycling of the membrane lipid carrier) which is needed to add on new cell wall subunits
Inhibit protein synthesis by binding to a portion of the bacterial ribosome
inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
