<prompt> Mechanism of action of vancomycin isInhibit protein synthesisInhibit cell wall synthesisInhibiting bacterial DNA replicationInhibit DNA dependent RNA synthesis  <response>: Inhibit - Cell wall synthesis 732-KDT6thVANCOMYCIN - bactericidal and acts by interfering with cell wall synthesis, inhibits the release of peptido glycah units from their site of assembly on cell membrane phospholipids. Thus these residues are not available for cross linking to form the cell wall Clindemycin, Spectinomycin - inhibits protein synthesis Nalidixic acid - acts by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication Rifampicin - inhibits DNA dependent RNA synthesis
