Pharmacology - Antibiotics - Cell Wall & Membrane Inhibitors

Explore the world of antibiotics in this comprehensive pharmacology lecture focusing on cell wall and membrane inhibitors. Learn about the classification of antibiotics, bacterial cell wall structures, and the mechanisms of action for various antibiotic classes. Dive into topics such as beta-lactams, beta-lactamases, and other cell wall synthesis inhibitors like fosfomycin, cycloserine, vancomycin, and bacitracin. Discover the unique properties of antimycobacterial drugs and cell membrane integrity disruptors. Gain a deeper understanding of how these antibiotics selectively target and combat bacterial infections, their side effects, and their importance in modern medicine.
