Which of the following is a correct match between inhibitors and their effect on cell wall synthesis? (Select all that apply)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) Carbapenems inhibit the formation of peptide crossbridges by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, which are involved in the synthesis of the cell wall. B) Glycopeptides, such as vancomycin, bind to the D-Ala-D-Ala terminus on the side chain of the peptidoglycan precursor, preventing its incorporation into the cell wall. C) Bacitracin blocks the dephosphorylation of the lipid carrier (bactoprenol) that transports peptidoglycan precursors across the cytoplasmic membrane, inhibiting the release of the precursor and thus cell wall synthesis. D) is incorrect because penicillins do not degrade peptidoglycan; instead, they inhibit its synthesis.
