Question
The following are broad spectrum bactericidal drugs that act on bacteria by inhibiting it's cell wall synthesis, except (1 Point)Carbapenem, cephalosporins, daptomycinFosfomycin, penicillins and semisynthetic penicillinsAztreonam, Bacitracin, Vancomycin
Solution
The answer is "Carbapenem, cephalosporins, daptomycin". Daptomycin does not inhibit cell wall synthesis. Instead, it works by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane. The other drugs listed in this option, Carbapenem and cephalosporins, do inhibit cell wall synthesis.
In contrast, all the drugs listed in the other two options (Fosfomycin, penicillins and semisynthetic penicillins, Aztreonam, Bacitracin, Vancomycin) are known to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis.
