Mechanism of penicillins' antibacterial effect is: a) Inhibition of transpeptidation in the bacterial cell wall b) Inhibition of beta-lactamase in the bacterial cell c) Activation of endogenous proteases that destroy the bacterial cell wall d) Activation of endogenous phospholipases, which leads to alteration of cell membrane permeability
