Vancomycin is an inhibitor of cell wall synthesis and is bactericidal for gram positive organisms. Antibiotics exert their effects via five basic mechanisms: (1) Inhibition of cell wall synthesis (cephalosporins, penicillins, vancomycin, imipenem). (2) Increasing cell membrane permeability (Bacitracin). (3) Ribosomal inhibition (gentamycin, erythromycins, linezolid, tetracyclines). (4) interference with DNA metabolism (quinolones), and (5) antimetabolite action (Trimethoprim).
