Dalbavancin is a lipoglycopeptide antibiotic that inhibits cell wall synthesis in bacteria. It functions by binding to the D-alanyl-D-alanine terminus of the peptidoglycan precursor, preventing its incorporation into the growing bacterial cell wall. This disrupts the integrity of the cell wall, leading to cell lysis and ultimately bacterial death. Dalbavancin′s mechanism of action involves interfering with the transglycosylation and transpeptidation steps of peptidoglycan synthesis, inhibiting the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains and weakening the bacterial cell wall. This disruption of cell wall synthesis is bactericidal against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Streptococcus pyogenes. Dalbavancin′s mechanism of action may be an effective for studying bacterial cell wall synthesis and for investigating potential targets for antibiotic development.
