About this document
Antimicrobial Drugs & Resistance Mechanisms by 70120706 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses antimicrobial drugs that target bacterial cell membranes, specifically focusing on polymyxins and daptomycin. Polymyxins, particularly colistin, are effective against gram-negative bacteria, while daptomycin is a cyclic lipopeptide effective against gram-positive cocci, including resistant strains. Both classes of drugs disrupt the cell membrane structure, leading to bacterial cell death.
