Glycopeptides, such as vancomycin, work by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. They bind to the D-alanyl-D-alanine terminus in peptidoglycan precursors, preventing transpeptidation and ultimately leading to cell wall disruption. This results in bacterial growth inhibition and eventual cell death.
