Mechanism of action
Oritavancin diphosphate binds to the cell wall precursor lipid II, preventing the incorporation of D-alanyl-D-alanine into the cell wall, ultimately leading to cell lysis and death. This mechanism of action is specific to Gram-positive bacteria, making it effective against a range of pathogens, including MRSA.
