1. Neosporin® ointment contains neomycin, streptomycin, and bacitracin. Like penicillin, bacitracin inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis, but it does so using a different mechanism. Penicillin binds to the _____ [D-Ala-D-Ala in peptidoglycan/transpeptidase(PBP2)/bactoprenol carrier molecule] and prevents cross-linking in the peptidoglycan. Bacitracin binds to the ____ [D-Ala-D-Ala in peptidoglycan/transpeptidase(PBP2)/bactoprenol carrier molecule] and prevents transport of ______ [amino acids/nucleotide bases/NAM-NAG monomers/D-Ala-D-Ala] across the _____ [plasma/outer] membrane to the growing peptidoglycan chain. 2. Competitive inhibition describes the mechanism of action for: a. penicillin b. bacitracin...
