Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Pathogenic microbes like bacteria and fungi produce virulent factors like proteins and lipids as microbial disease-causing agents. Bacteria have a lipopolysaccharide outer cell wall which is attached to the host cell. The cell wall and its components act as a virulent agent in most of the bacteria. Drugs are designed in order to target such cell wall components in order to kill that bacteria from the host system.
