Alter Bacteria Target Site Antibiotic  Stucture Antibiotics Longer

Altering the target site of the antibiotic means bacteria change its structure so antibiotics no longer work, like vancomycin targeting NAM crosslinks.

Alterar el sitio diana del antibiótico hace que la bacteria cambie su estructura para que el antibiótico ya no funcione, como ocurre con la vancomicina y los enlaces cruzados de NAM.

Front Alter the target site of the antibiotic 
Back Bacteria alter stucture so that antibiotics no longer work, 
Ex: rancomycin targets NAM crosslinks = bacteria change structure
