**Drugs that Inhibit/Disrupt Bacterial Cell Wall ** - Medications like penicillins and cephalosporins inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis or activate enzymes that interfere with the cell wall, contributing to weakening and bacterial cell death through lysis. **Drugs that Increase Cell Membrane Permeability ** - Agents such as amphotericin B make the cell membrane more permeable, resulting in the loss of essential intracellular components.
