- Abstract:
Glycopeptide antibiotics are a class of antibiotics that contains glycosylated cyclic peptides and are used to treat infections. Glycopeptide antibiotics inhibit the synthesis of the cell walls of the gram-positive bacteria that cause many infections. Traditionally, this class of antibiotics has been used as a last line of defense to treat life-threatening infections after other treatments have failed.
