Penicillins interfere with bacterial cell wall synthesis by (a) Inhibiting synthesis of N-acetyl muramic acid pentapeptide (b) Inhibiting conjugation between N-acetyl muramic acid and N-acetyl glucosamine (c) Inhibiting transpeptidases and carboxy peptidases which cross link the peptidoglycan residues (d) Counterfeiting for D-alanine in the bacterial cell wall
