Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beta-lactam antibiotics are specifically designed to target and disrupt the cell walls of bacterial cells. They work by inhibiting the formation of peptidoglycan, a crucial component of the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell death. Beta-lactams have no effect on animal cells, fungal cells, or virus-infected cells, as they do not have the same type of cell wall.
